# Enables the specified Job, allowing new Tasks to run.

`POST /jobs/{jobId}/enable`

When you call this API, the Batch service sets a disabled Job to the enabling
state. After the this operation is completed, the Job moves to the active
state, and scheduling of new Tasks under the Job resumes. The Batch service
does not allow a Task to remain in the active state for more than 180 days.
Therefore, if you enable a Job containing active Tasks which were added more
than 180 days ago, those Tasks will not run.
