How can I remove a Job that is no longer Executing but still shows as Yellow in the Control-M/Enterprise Manager GUI?
How can I change the "Executing" (Yellow) status of a job that has already completed executing on the Control-M Server?

 

Control-M/Server version 9.0.22.000 and higher:

Requirements:
- Control-M/Server must be running

- The new utility ctm_setnotok utility rather than the force_end_job allows ending a job that is no longer executing
Note: This utility does not require SSL to be disabled as in earlier versions
- Starting with 9.022.100, this functionality will be available in the Control-M Web client as well with the "Set to NotOK" option in Monitoring

Syntax (Windows and Unix):  ctm_setnotok -orderid <order_id in base 36>

Example: ctm_setnotok -orderid 04abw

Control-M/Server 9.0.21.30# and lower:

The Perl script ctm_server/scripts/force_end_job.pl forces a job in a Submitted or Executing state to end NOTOK (COMPSTAT=1) on the Control-M/Server only.  If the job is running on the Agent, this will continue running (see Notes below).

Requirements:
- Control-M/Server must be running.
- SSL is disabled.

Unix:

Version 9.0.20 and higher run this command:
$CTM_PERL_HOME/perl $CONTROLM_SERVER/scripts/force_end_job.pl <order_id in base 36> [Y|N(debug)]

Example:  $CTM_PERL_HOME/perl $CONTROLM_SERVER/scripts/force_end_job.pl  04abw

Prior to version 9.0.20 run this command:
$HOME/bmcperl/perl  $CONTROLM_SERVER/scripts/force_end_job.pl <order_id in base 36> [Y|N(debug)]

Example:  $HOME/bmcperl/perl  $CONTROLM_SERVER/scripts/force_end_job.pl  04abw

Windows:

Open a Command prompt using "Run as Administrator"

Version 9.0.20.000 and higher run this command:
"%CTM_PERL_HOME%\perl" "<CONTROL-M/Server>\ctm_server\scripts\force_end_job.pl" <order_id in base 36> [Y|N (debug)]

Example: "%CTM_PERL_HOME%\perl" "C:\Program Files\BMC Software\Control-M Server\ctm_server\scripts\force_end_job.pl"  04abw

Prior to version 9.0.20.000 run this command:
"<CONTROL-M/Server>\bmcperl\bin\perl"  "<CONTROL-M/Server>\ctm_server\scripts\force_end_job.pl" <order_id in base 36> [Y|N (debug)]

Example:  "C:\Program Files\BMC Software\Control-M Server\bmcperl\bin\perl"  "C:\Program Files\BMC Software\Control-M Server\ctm_server\scripts\force_end_job.pl"  04abw

Notes:
(1) The job ends NOTOK on the Control-M/Server side only!. The job is not killed on the Control-M/Agent machine.  The assumption is that the job ended on the Agent OS and the Agent failed to communicate the state back to Control-M/Server.
(2) Only ON Statements of type 'operating system completion code' will be performed.
(3) This is an interactive script. The user has to confirm the action.
(4) Only the Control-M/Server user can run this program on Unix.
(5) There are no security checks on Windows. Therefore, it is recommended to enable execution permissions of this program only to a specific user.
(6) No database lock. If the Control-M/Server receives the job status from the Control-M/Agent, before handling the force-end job request, the job will end according to the update from the Agent (even though the force_end_job.pl likely completed successfully)
