End Job in Teamsite 6.5

Hi

I want to allow the Creator of Workflow to be able to End the Job By selecting End job from Actions menu) . I checked in another thread how it can be enabled in Teamsite 6.7. Does anybody know how to allow the Job Creator (as Editor) to be able to End Job.

Thanks

Add a menu link in the Actions and on click of the link call a CGI file... which takes input as Job ID. On submission of the CGI file... user the CLT iwrmjob to delete the job.

But the End Job menu Appears with the Link Disabled (In the Actions Column in the Jobs Tab) How to Enable it for creator.

That is a poor policy. End Job in general is a bad thing to use. It is better to build your workflow with a cancel task. Make that a group task that your list of people can take, then you can do whatever cleanup you need to do to cancel the job.

My problem with End Task is that it is hiding other issues. Why do so many jobs need to be ended ? Common reasons are external tasks failed, reviews by people who don't knwo they need to, and group tasks untaken.
