Releasing a Hold Off a Job

When you put a job on hold, it will not run during the current day even if all its dependencies are met. It will only be run after the hold is released. Even after the hold is released, its dependencies need to be met (or you need to force a run by releasing all dependencies). To release a Hold off a job, enter the following command:

    releaseHold --log_dir=l_d --job=Ff::Jj --family_dir=f_d [--log_date=d]

where `l_d` is the log directory and `Ff` is the family name and `Jj` is the job name and `f_d` is the family_directory. The log_date is an optional date in the YYYYMMDD format. If specified, that date's data will be used, instead of the current date's. A hold can only be released off a job if the job was in the 'Hold' state in the first place.
