CANCEL Command

Authorization: USER

Use the Cancel command to end CA VM:Backup jobs.

Users can cancel their own restore requests if processing has not begun.

Operators can cancel a job at any time, whether it is running or waiting to execute. If an inactive job is canceled, it is dropped from the queue. If an active job is canceled, the job terminates abnormally.

To view the status of a job, use the QUERY REQUESTS command.

This command has the following format:

CANcel {ALL | jobid}

Definitions

ALL

Cancels all of the requesting user's pending restore requests.

jobid

Specifies the job identification number, which is assigned when the job is submitted, of a single job to cancel. You do not have to specify the leading zeros. To view the job ID of a job, use the QUERY REQUESTS command.

Examples

To cancel a pending restore request (jobid 00000010), enter:

vmbackup cancel 10
