To cancel a system comparison currently in progress, click cancel.
If you cancel a comparison in progress, you are returned to the page listing all the comparisons. Occasionally, it may take a short while for the listing to refresh and show you that the comparison you canceled has been stopped. The reason for this is that some comparisons include file transfers between the Master Server and the comparison or reference hosts, and the comparison will not halt in mid-transfer, but will continue until the current file is completely transferred (refer to the description of each sort of comparison at the beginning of this chapter for specific information about files being transferred). The time it takes to refresh the page depends on the size of the file that provisioning software is currently transferring. When the comparison is completely halted, the updated list is displayed.
