Arguments

Description

demote(c,job) demotes the job object job that is queued in the cluster c.

If job is not the last job in the queue, demote exchanges the position of job and the job that follows it in the queue.

Examples

Create and submit multiple jobs to the MATLAB job scheduler (MJS) identified by the default parallel configuration:

c = parcluster();
pause(c) % Prevent submissions from running.

j1 = createJob(c,'Name','Job A');
j2 = createJob(c,'Name','Job B');
j3 = createJob(c,'Name','Job C');
submit(j1);submit(j2);submit(j3);

Demote one of the jobs by one position in the queue:

demote(c,j2)

Examine the new queue sequence:

[pjobs,qjobs,rjobs,fjobs] = findJob(c);
get(qjobs,'Name')

    'Job A'
    'Job C'
    'Job B'
