release job

You can use the release job command to release normal and time dependencies from a job.

Overview

The command can be applied to jobs that are waiting for the resolution of a dependency. The status of such jobs are marked as HOLD. When you use the command, the dependency is removed only for the job that are in progress. When you rerun the same job, the dependency persist. To remove the dependency permanently from a job stream, refer to deldep job. You must have the release access to the job to release the dependencies. For more information about security access roles, see Security role definition.
