AutoSys Job Status Cheat Sheet
What happens if a Box is on HOLD or ICE?
| Action | Meaning | Effect on Box | Effect on Jobs inside |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON HOLD | Manual pause | Box stays READY, but jobs inside do NOT run | Child jobs are NOT allowed to start |
| ON ICE | Freeze | Box is frozen, won't even evaluate jobs inside | Child jobs are NOT evaluated or started |
Box ON HOLD
The box remains active but child jobs do not run until the hold is released.
Box ON ICE
The box and child jobs are frozen. No evaluation happens. After removing ICE, only future events are considered.
