Pausing, Continuing, Synchronizing, and Aborting Jobs

When you run a simulation activity, it processes the steps that were created in the activity. See Running a Simulation Activity for more information.

You can also pause the upload step and manually select which of the files in the upload rule should be uploaded. See Interactively Selecting Files to Upload for more information.

When the activity is run, the execution log window indicates whether a processing step has been paused by the user.

To continue a processing step that you paused, you must toggle on the simulation activity to continue in the Activities table page and select Run > Resume from the table page toolbar. You can toggle on and continue only a single simulation activity. You can also continue a processing step from the activity job log.

A job can be either a simulation process or a simulation activity that is executing. To abort a job, you must toggle on the simulation process or activity in the table page and select Run > Abort from the table page toolbar.

You can abort a job during any of its processing steps; however, you should be aware of the following:

• If the job is running the download rules, it will finish the current file transfer before aborting.
• If the job is running an application via a wrapper script that provides the process ID, the wrapper script aborts the application.
• If the job is running an application via a wrapper script that does not provide the process ID, the application runs to completion before the job aborts.
• If the job is running the upload rules, it will finish the current file transfer before aborting.
• If the job is cleaning the working directory, the abort has no effect.
