Terminate an active installation/uninstallation or remediation job

You can terminate a software installation, uninstallation or remediation job that is actively running. For example, you may need to stop a job that is producing erroneous results or will run beyond an allotted maintenance window.

To stop an active remediation or installation job:

1. From the Job Status window, click End Job. (This button only appears if the job is in progress.)
2. The End Job warning dialog will be displayed advising you how job termination works:
   • The job will not initiate work on any additional servers
   • If work has started on a server, the job will cancel any steps that can be skipped
   • The Job Status will indicate the steps that were completed or skipped
   • If the job ends successfully, the final job status will be “Terminated”
3. Click OK to confirm that you wish to terminate the job. The Job Status window displays the progress of the termination.
   
   
   The job status will be Terminated. The server status will be canceled. The task statuses will be Succeeded or Skipped.

4. When the termination is complete, you can also view the job in the SA Client Job Log.
   
   From the SA Client navigation pane, click Jobs and Sessions. The Job Logs view appears with your job listed with Terminated status.
