The DIFFERENCE between on hold and on ice is that when an on hold JOB is TAKEN off hold, if its starting conditions are already satisfied, it will be scheduled to run, and it will run. On the other HAND, if an on ice job is taken off ice, it will not start, even if its starting conditions are already satisfied. This job will not run until its starting conditions reoccur. The other major distinction is that jobs downstream from the job that is on ice will run as though the job succeeded. Whereas, all dependent jobs do not run when a job is in on hold—nothing downstream from this job will run.
