RE: WRKMLBSTS , Remove a job

If the volume that was used for QBRMBKUP is still in a drive, try moving the volume to a slot in the library.
If you have a GUI tool for the library, use it.
If not, you will need to move manually from the library.

@Rob :
when i enter WRKJOB QBRMBKUP, it displays Job //QBRMBKUP not found.
I believe its the same as PAUL suggested.
->The job ended abnormally and did not release the reservation.

Is there any way to release that job ?

So, in short what you are saying is to try a CHKTAP with an *UNLOAD

A BRMS operation, (save or restore) will keep the drive allocated
until the tape is unloaded and/or rewind.

From IBM support.

- When an operation needing a tape resource runs and needs a tape
drive the tape code will attempt to reserve a tape drive. If it cannot
get a reservation on it's first choice it will try again to reserve
another drive. It will do this repeatedly until it gets a reservation or until
all drive resources have been tried. Assuming a drive is found that is
available a 'reservation' is put on the tape drive resource. This
reservation exists on the tape drive itself and is assigned to a
specific adapter port by World Wide Port Name (WWPN). This
reservation will be persistent until the host releases the
reservation. If anything stops the host from releasing the reservation
the drive will remain reserved and can only be used by that specific port adapter.

- Once a drive is reserved and a tape needs to be mounted, tape code
will check to see if the tape is already mounted in another drive. If
the tape is mounted in another drive the system running the operation
needing a tape resource will attempt to reserve the tape drive that
the tape is mounted in. If it gets the reservation for a short period
of time the job will have caused two drives to be reserved. The first
drive will be released shortly, however if multiple jobs are starting
at the same time that need drives it is possible that each job could
reserve multiple drives for short periods of time and some job may not
be able to get a drive. Operations requiring more than one tape
resource such as DUPMEDBRM or DUPTAP can magnify this issue. Slightly
staggering job start times can reduce this possibility.

- Different types of errors (user, job, device) can cause a
reservation to be left hanging on a drive. Once this happens, only
the system using the adapter port with the proper WWPN will be able to
use the tape drive or release the reservation.

- Although it may not be common; changes to the fabric can make it
impossible for a system to release a reservation. For example:

Job Runs and TAP01 is reserved
Job ends abnormally and does not release reservation Fibre cable is
moved to a different adapter port At this point there is no way any
of the host systems can release this
reservation...

I have this Job stuck in TAP04 , in my WRKMLBSTS and it is always in
the ACTIVE status even when the job is not running. I want to remove this.
Please let me know the procedure for it.
