How to suspend all scheduled jobs prior to a restore?

EyalGonen — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 11:53:19 GMT

when looking at the instructions at https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/itopscdc/v_062/calbr/n1607whucnyc02n1eo6tbvl1tzcs.htm it say:

Suspend any scheduled jobs in the environment to prevent them from automatically starting after the restore. To check for and disable scheduled jobs, you can do one of the following

And then it points to the SAS Viya jobs cli documentation not to the specific CLI command to run.

I *think* it might be

sas-viya job schedulers pause

But I am not sure.

Anyone?

Yes, running sas-viya job schedulers pause initiates a pause on all scheduled flows and jobrequests until sas-viya job schedulers resume sas-viya job schedulers restore is run.

Thanks @gwootton !

It would have been easier if the documentation would have stated the explicit CLI command 🙂

I've reached out to the documentation team to make this more clear.
