Cancel or Purge Jobs

You can cancel any job you've run or scheduled. Generally, you can't cancel other users' jobs, but there are exceptions: Anyone can cancel a job to synchronize transaction data, analyze models, or analyze controls, no matter who ran the job.

Note: There's a special case: If you're assigned the ESS Administrator role, you can cancel any job run by anyone.

You can also purge job records. To complete either a cancellation or a purge:

  1. In the Monitor Jobs page, select the check boxes in the rows for any number of jobs you want to cancel or purge.

  2. Click the Cancel button or the Purge button. However, each button is active only if all the jobs you select are at a status appropriate for the action you're taking: Queued or Started for the cancel action, or Completed, Failed, or Canceled for the purge action.

  3. Respond to a message that asks you to confirm the cancellation or purge.

When you cancel a job, its status changes first to Cancel Requested, and then to Canceled when the application completes the operation. When you purge a job, its record disappears from the Monitor Jobs page.
