CANCEL Command

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

You can cancel a job at any time, regardless of whether it is running or waiting to execute. If an inactive job is canceled, CA VM:Backup drops it from the queue. If an active job is canceled, the job ends abnormally (abends). To view a job's status, use the QUERY REQUESTS command.

CANcel {ALL | jobid}

Definitions

ALL

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

jobid

Specifies the job identification number, assigned by CA VM:Backup when the job is submitted, of a single job to cancel. You do not have to specify the leading zeros. To view a job's jobid, use the QUERY REQUESTS command.

Examples

To cancel pending restore job 00000010, enter:

vmbackup cancel 10
