Terminating utilities

These steps are part of the larger task of displaying utilities. When you complete the steps for terminating a utility, return to main task.

Use the Terminate Utility window to confirm that you want to terminate a utility and to terminate the utilities shown in the text field. This terminates the execution of a DB2 utility job step and releases all resources associated with the step. When executing, a utility does not terminate until it checks to see that a terminate command was issued. Active utilities perform this check periodically. If the utility is stopped, all of its resources are released by a terminate command. An active utility can be terminated only from the DB2 on which it is running. After you terminate a utility, it cannot be restarted. You must resubmit the utility by selecting the utility from the appropriate object's pop-up menu.

To terminate a utility:

  1. Confirm that you want to terminate the utility displayed in the text field.

  2. Click OK to terminate the execution of the utility or utilities that are listed.
