Re: Automatically killing long running jobs

Hi Everyone,

Hello Jim


I'm looking for a solution to my problem of long running reports.
Everyone once in a while a user gets carried away and submits a
very, very large report to the system. What I would like to do is
kill any reports that run for more than X minutes. These reports
run in our reporting queue/subsystem, so it would be safe to kill
any job in that subsystem that's been running for more that X
minutes.

Any ideas on how best to accomplish this? Or am I off the mark in
trying this?


You can try to create your own class for your subsystem and use the
"MAX CPU time" parameter. If you setup this parameter to anything else
than *NOMAX, the system will end the job when it uses more than the
number of milliseconds CPU. This is not exactly what you are looking
for but it may help.
