Running job will not abort

[SALVATORE_PUGLISI]

Hey guys

Does anyone know how to force the abort of an job? I have a job that hung for more than 10 days, last week i cancelled the running job but now it's still on "cancelling".

I also tried to abort the job over the command line with

dfbm job abort 197850

the result is

Error: Job 197850 is already being aborted.

Since 6 days I have this message, actually I cannot take a backup of the desired dataset as the dataset waits for the job to finish.

Can anyone help me?

Regards.

Hi,

you can try "dfm service stop -k" and then start the service "dfm service start". See if this frees up your dataset.

Thanks,

Thanks Arun,

you were right. In this case the easier way was the solution.

If you are using a linux box you could go a ps -eaf | grep -i dfpm and find the job id and do a kill -9 instead of doing a service stop.

and if you are using Windows, after identified job number (GUI or dfpm job list -v jobs-running), then start the Task Manager, "Processes" tab, make sure you "show processes from all users", View>Select column... , check the "Command Line" column, you must now see the ...\dfpm.exe" job run job_id, the you can end this one only.
