Cancel Job
This option allows you to stop a job from running.
Select Cancel Job from the sub menu.
The cancelled job can be executed again by selecting the Execute Job option.
You can only cancel subsequent steps in a job, not the current one. This is a design decision as cancelling a running step has the potential to cause data corruption, or in some circumstances, may be ignored by the system targeted by the task.
Job cancellation examples
Example 1
If a job only has one step, cancelling it has no effect. It will continue executing until the step has finished and end prior to it being cancelled, there will be no indication that cancellation was attempted on the job.
Example 2
If a job has three steps, cancelling during step 1 will continue executing until step 1 has finished. At this point the job will enter a failed status and log an error to the execution history, indicating that the job was cancelled. Step 2 and 3 will not run.
Delete Job
This option allows you to delete the selected job.
Select Delete Job from the sub menu.
A confirmation pop up will display. Click OK to delete the job.
Tip: The tasks that were assigned to the deleted job will not be deleted themselves. This option will only delete the job. The tasks can still be found under the project tasks list and can be added to a new or existing job.
