Cancel a Library Request or Job

Cancel requests that are in the "Active" or "Submitted" state.

1. Click Activity in the left navigation area of the GUI.
2. Click the Requests tab or the Jobs tab.
3. Select a request or job. To select multiple, ctrl-click or shift-click.
4. From the Actions drop-down (or right-click menu), select Request Cancel (for requests) or Cancel Parent Request (for jobs).

Cancellation is not immediate

After you cancel a request, the library completes all in-progress robot operations and attempts to leave itself in a consistent state.

For in-progress moves, the library returns the tape to the source cell, if possible. For canceled diagnostic tests, the library attempts to return the tape to the cell it started in before the diagnostic began.
