Cancel Job

batch_cancel_job

R Documentation

Cancels a job in an Batch job queue

Description

Cancels a job in an Batch job queue. Jobs that are in a SUBMITTED, PENDING, or RUNNABLE state are cancelled and the job status is updated to FAILED.

A PENDING job is canceled after all dependency jobs are completed. Therefore, it may take longer than expected to cancel a job in PENDING status.

When you try to cancel an array parent job in PENDING, Batch attempts to cancel all child jobs. The array parent job is canceled when all child jobs are completed.

Jobs that progressed to the STARTING or RUNNING state aren't canceled. However, the API operation still succeeds, even if no job is canceled. These jobs must be terminated with the terminate_job operation.

Usage

batch_cancel_job(jobId, reason)

Arguments

jobId

[required] The Batch job ID of the job to cancel.

reason

[required] A message to attach to the job that explains the reason for canceling it. This message is returned by future describe_jobs operations on the job. This message is also recorded in the Batch activity logs.

Value

An empty list.

svc$cancel_job(
  jobId = "string",
  reason = "string"
