Pausing or resuming an instance

You can pause and then resume an instance as needed. Pause and resume can be applied to scheduled instances only (that is, instances that have a status of Recurring or Pending).

For example, if a job server is down for maintenance reasons, you may want to pause a scheduled instance. This prevents the system from running the object, and the object from failing because the job server is not running. When the job server is running again, you can resume the scheduled object.

To pause an instance

1. Go to the History page for an object.
2. Select the check box for the scheduled instance you want to pause.
3. Click Pause.

To resume a paused instance
