Cancel a job

Description

The cancel operation is performed on an asynchronous jobs resource. This operation results in the cancellation of a running geoprocessing job. You can provide an argument to the cancel operation as defined in the following parameters table. The job will have a canceling (esriJobCancelling) status with this operation, and a canceled (esriJobCancelled) status when the job is canceled.

Request parameters

You can cancel a job that is in waiting (esriJobWaiting) or running (esriJobExecuting) status. Canceling a canceled (esriJobCancelled), succeeded (esriJobSucceeded), failed (esriJobFailed), or timed out (esriJobTimedOut) job status will return an Invalid or missing input parameters error. If the cancellation request is submitted for a job with a submitted status (esriJobSumbitted) before the job starts to run, you will receive the same error, and the job will continue to run.

Example usage

Cancel the job with an ID of j8279ff17f3b348ddadb6c092cfb7e7ba and expecting a JSON response.
