How to KILL a Job using PostProc Tab

During our day to day activities sometimes we may come across a scenario to Kill a job during run time. The most commonly scenario is to kill a job when it is exceeding its normal time limit. We can achieve this using PostProc tab without any manual intervention.

To perform this you MUST have access to Control-M Server.

1. You have to connect to Control-M Server using Telnet.
2. From the "ctmsys" menu, goto "Shout Destination Tables" and define a shout destination with type "P" (process), Address Type "A" (agent), Logical Destination "Kill_Job" and Physical Destination"$HOME/ctm/exe_<architecture>/killjob.sh".
3. Go to your CONTROL-M/Server home directory, and define a script under ctm/exe_<architecture>/. The script name will be "killjob.sh", which contains the following lines:
   
   #!/bin/csh
   ctmkilljob -ORDERID $2 &
   
   Note: the ampersand (&) at the end of the command. This must be present for this solution to work.
4. Job definition
• Goto the "PostProc" tab and define a shout WHEN LATETIME or EXECTIME
• in the Destination put "Kill_Job" 
• in the Message Box put "%%ORDERID" (the parameters for the "killjob.sh" script).
