Canceling a Replication Update (CLI)

You can cancel in-progress replication updates from the replication target.

From the replication target, navigate to shares replication packages and enter ls to list the packages.

hostname:> shares replication packages
hostname:shares replication packages> ls

ID          STATE DATA TIMESTAMP      SOURCE       DATASET
package-002 idle  2019-10-02 19:26:37 hostsource   berries
package-001 idle  2019-10-02 19:26:10 hostsource   berries
package-004 idle  2019-10-02 20:53:51 hostsource   berries/blackberry
package-003 recv  2019-10-02 20:59:52 hostsource   cherries/maraschino

Entries are sorted by source, dataset, and data timestamp respectively. The most recent replica snapshot is indicated by data timestamp.

Select a package.

hostname:shares replication packages> select package-001

Enter cancelupdate.
```
hostname:shares replication package-001> cancelupdate
```
It might take several seconds for the cancellation to complete.

After canceling an update, the next scheduled update sends the remainder of the interrupted data stream, followed by an incremental update that is based on the interrupted data stream.

Note:
A manual update cannot be initiated from the replication target. You must log into the source appliance to initiate a manual update.
