Overview

Universal Agent provides network fault tolerance and, in some cases, manager fault tolerance (see Fault Tolerance Implementation). These features provide users with the ability to execute jobs that will continue to run when the network is down and when a manager is terminated.

However, there are scenarios in which the user may want to cancel an executing job that supports manager and/or network fault tolerance and have processes terminate immediately. Because of fault tolerance, when the manager is terminated, the server side would begin a connection reestablishment protocol and continue to execute. This would allow the started user job to continue running.

In particular, z/OS supports a CANCEL command that will terminate a job executing on the z/OS operating system.
