```
public interface JobOperator
```
JobOperator provide the interface for operating on batch jobs. Through the JobOperator a program can start, stop, and restart jobs. It can additionally inspect job history, to discover what jobs are currently running and what jobs have previously run. The JobOperator interface imposes no security constraints. However, the implementer is free to limit JobOperator methods with a security scheme of its choice. The implementer should terminate any method that is limited by the security scheme with a JobSecurityException.

    Returns job parameters for a specified job instance. These are the key/value pairs specified when the instance was originally created by the start method.
    
    Parameters:
    
    executionId - specifies the execution from which to retrieve the parameters.

```
long start(String jobXMLName,
           Properties jobParameters)
    throws JobStartException,
           JobSecurityException
```
    Creates a new job instance and starts the first execution of that instance. Note the Job XML describing the job is first searched for by name according to a means prescribed by the batch runtime implementation. This may vary by implementation. If the Job XML is not found by that means, then the batch runtime must search for the specified Job XML as a resource from the META-INF/batch-jobs directory based on the current class loader. Job XML files under META-INF/batch-jobs directory follow a naming convention of "name".xml where "name" is the value of the jobXMLName parameter (see below).
    
    Parameters:
    
    jobXMLName - specifies the name of the Job XML describing the job.
    
    jobParameters - specifies the keyword/value pairs for attribute substitution in the Job XML.
    
    Returns:
    
    executionId for the job execution.
    
    Throws:
    
    JobStartException
    
    JobSecurityException
  - restart
```
long restart(long executionId,
             Properties restartParameters)
      throws JobExecutionAlreadyCompleteException,
             NoSuchJobExecutionException,
             JobExecutionNotMostRecentException,
             JobRestartException,
             JobSecurityException
```
    Restarts a failed or stopped job instance.
    
    Parameters:
    
    executionId - specifies the execution to to restart. This execution must be the most recent execution that ran.
    
    restartParameters - specifies the keyword/value pairs for attribute substitution in the Job XML.
    
    Returns:
    
    new executionId
    
    Throws:
    
    JobExecutionAlreadyCompleteException
    
    NoSuchJobExecutionException
    
    JobExecutionNotMostRecentException,
    
    JobRestartException
    
    JobSecurityException
    
    JobExecutionNotMostRecentException
  - stop
```
void stop(long executionId)
   throws NoSuchJobExecutionException,
          JobExecutionNotRunningException,
          JobSecurityException
```
    Request a running job execution stops. This method notifies the job execution to stop and then returns. The job execution normally stops and does so asynchronously. Note JobOperator cannot guarantee the jobs stops: it is possible a badly behaved batch application does not relinquish control.
    Note for partitioned batchlet steps the Batchlet stop method is invoked on each thread actively processing a partition.
    
    Parameters:
    
    executionId - specifies the job execution to stop. The job execution must be running.
    
    Throws:
    
    NoSuchJobExecutionException
    
    JobExecutionNotRunningException
    
    JobSecurityException
  - abandon
```
void abandon(long executionId)
      throws NoSuchJobExecutionException,
             JobExecutionIsRunningException,
             JobSecurityException
```
    Set batch status to ABANDONED. The instance must have no running execution.
    Note that ABANDONED executions cannot be restarted.
    
    Parameters:
    
    executionId - specifies the job execution to abandon.
    
    Throws:
    
    NoSuchJobExecutionException
    
    JobExecutionIsRunningException
    
    JobSecurityException
  - getJobInstance
```
