Schedule is where you create the job and define the start parameters. Here the chain or job won't start . It needs a released job to run it as per you defined in the periodicity.

If the job is stuck in released state and is not coming to active state,you have to kill or cancel the job.

Use the STOP button to cancel the job.

Then reschedule that job.

Before this..check what impact will canceling the job have..

You could capture 'Released' job to 'Scheduled'.

Proceed as below:

goto SM37, get the list of jobs which shows the released job.

Keep the cursor on the released (just keep), then use menu Job --> Released to Scheduled (short cut Shift+F6).

This will make your released job to scheduled. After that you could whatever you want.
