Cancelling an active snapshot job

In the SA Client, you can terminate an active snapshot job. Anactive snapshot job is one that has already started and is running.

The terminate action on an active snapshot job is known as a soft-cancel. A soft-cancel is the activity where a job was partially run and then stopped when you clicked End Job in the Job Status step in the Snapshot Servers wizard. Soft-cancel applies only to an active snapshot job that you want to stop.

Soft cancel is supported for Audit, Remediation of Audit Result, and Create Snapshot jobs. However, Soft Cancel is not supported for snapshot remediation jobs, including ‘Copy To’ from a snapshot to a server.

You must have permissions to cancel a snapshot that is in progress. In general, if you have permission to start a snapshot job, you will also be able to stop a snapshot job that is running. In addition, if you have the Edit or Cancel Any Job permission, you will be able to soft-cancel a running snapshot job. For more information on audit-related permissions, see the SA 10.51 Administer section. You can also obtain these permissions from your SA administrator.

To stop an active snapshot job:

In the Job Status pane, click End Job.
This button is enabled only when the job is in progress.
The End Job dialog will display. This dialog briefly describes 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 display as Terminated.
Click OK to confirm that you want to terminate the job. The Job Status pane displays the progress of the termination action.

The job status will be Terminated. The server status will be Cancelled. The task statuses will be Succeeded or Skipped.
When the termination is complete, you can also view the job in the SA Client Job Log.

In the SA Client navigation pane, select Jobs and Sessions. The Job Logs view displays your job with a Terminated status.
