Interrupting a job scheduler
If you want to attempt to fix a running job scheduler without restarting the node, you can interrupt the job scheduler on the Requestors landing page. Interrupting a job scheduler is useful when the job scheduler stops working correctly during processing and cannot complete its run.
For example, a job scheduler runs an activity that contains a call to an external
service (such as a REST endpoint, database, or email server). If that interaction
with the external service stops (due to communication issues or problems with that
resource), the job scheduler might not be able to finish, nor can it restart
processing the activity again.
In the example above, you interrupt the job scheduler and introduce timeouts to the job scheduler activity logic.
- Identify the job schedulers that are running and determine which job scheduler
you want to interrupt.
For more information, see Determining which job schedulers are running.
- On the rightmost end of the JOBSCHEDULER_THREAD row, select the More icon (⋮), and then select Interrupt.
The Interrupt action attempts to interrupt the current activity of the Java
thread. Depending on the activity implementation and depending on what the
thread is doing when the interrupt attempt occurs, one of the following
might happen:
