Cancel Action

A process can get stuck and have an In Progress status due to various reasons. For example, it could be due to process time lapse, an infrastructure issue such as a network failure, or an ESS failure due to patching, and so on. You can then cancel the jobs that are stuck, take corrective action, and resubmit the process.

Use the Cancel action in the Checklist and Results Summary pages to cancel all the ESS threads of a flow task that are in In Progress status.

When you cancel a process from the Checklist page, the process displays either of these statuses:
  • Completed with alerts if some relationship actions have errors or are unprocessed.
  • Critical Alerts if after cancellation none of the relationship actions are processed.
Only if you have the ORA_PAY_SCHEDULED_PROCESSES_ADMINISTRATION_DUTY duty role you can access and cancel ESS jobs for flows that you haven't submitted.
Note: With this duty role, you can cancel ESS jobs for all types of flows. For example, with this duty role you can cancel ESS jobs for the Calculate Payroll flow, even if you don't have access to the Calculate Payroll flow and you haven't submitted the Calculate Payroll flow.

You can also cancel a specific ESS job from the Oracle Enterprise Scheduler Service (ESS) page. However, as a best practice we don't recommend you cancel ESS jobs from the ESS page because using the ESS page doesn't trigger the display of the banner message for the specific task being canceled.
