If a job is running or fails to complete, you can abort the job to cancel it. Administrators can abort the jobs of all users.
If you abort a job, all queued operations roll back to the pre-job state. Some job operations, such as renaming an object, complete quickly. Others, such as adjusting the memory used by a virtual machine, take longer.
There are two ways to abort a job:
Using the Jobs view
Using the Jobs pane in any view, other than the Jobs view.
Both procedures for aborting jobs are listed below.
To abort a job using the Jobs view:
Select the Jobs view.
Select the Jobs tab.
Select the job in the Jobs table.
Click Abort in the toolbar.
To abort a job using the Jobs pane:
In any view, other than the Jobs view, select the job in the Jobs pane.
Click Abort in the Abort column.
