If a step or a job is terminating when system failure occurs, the termination is completed during the system restart that the operator may perform after the failure. This occurs whether or not the step or job uses checkpoint/restart, although the job journal option must be in use.

If other than the last step of a job is terminating when the failure occurs, the termination completes during the system restart, and the next step of the job initiates.

If the last step of a job terminates, or, if the job terminates, all necessary terminations are completed.

If a job requests an automatic restart, then abnormally terminates and system failure occurs before the restart termination processing is complete, the processing completes during the system restart.
