Holding/Resuming Jobs
When you manually put a job on hold in the Jobs List, you suspend all processing tasks for the entire job (after the current activity has been allowed to finish). The job remains on hold until you resume it.
NOTE: You cannot “continue” a job that is on hold: The Continue command will be disabled. In this case, you must use the “Resume” command.
To manually hold a job
1 Select the Jobs Window.
2 Context-click a job which has not yet finished processing in the Job List (or job results in the Job Layout pane), and choose Hold Job from the context menu.
3 You can also click the Hold button:
 |
The Hold Job dialog box appears. Here you can choose to stop any ongoing processing, or allow it to finish before the job is put on hold.
4 If you want to stop processing, choose Stop and Hold.
This means that active tasks are stopped and rescheduled. The rescheduled tasks are then put on hold.
5 If you want to allow any ongoing processing to finish, choose Hold.
This means that all active tasks will be allowed to finish and all queued tasks will be put on hold.
The Hold icon appears in the Status column to the left of the job. Notice also that the background color of the associated Job Flow icon changes to blue.
 |
All flats and pages that still need to be processed in the Pages and Results tabs will also be colored blue. Only results that were finished are not colored blue.
The job’s input channels will continue to receive and deliver documents to the Page Store, but no further processing will be done on them. This means that although you may see new documents arrive in the Page Store, you cannot add these document pages to your Run List since they have not yet been processed by the Normalizer.
NOTE: Manually holding a job from the Jobs Window stops all processing tasks for the entire job. This is different from including an Action in the job’s Production Plan, where you can put any individual job item on hold at any time, whether it is a page, a flat or a separation.
To resume a job on hold
1 Select the Jobs Window.
2 In the Job List, select a job which has been manually put on hold.
The following Status icon is attached to jobs which are on hold:
|
Additionally, the background color of the associated Job Flow icon will be blue.
3 Choose Control > Resume Job, or click the Resume button in the Toolbar.
 |
The Hold icon disappears, and the background color of the associated Job Flow icon changes to green.
Resuming a job does not resume results and/or tasks that are waiting on an Action, or that are rejected or in error.
NOTE: Resuming a job resumes processing of the entire job which was manually put on hold. This is different from Continuing an individual job item (page, flat or separation) which was automatically put on hold by an Action in the job’s Production Plan.
