Considerations

Keep these considerations in mind while canceling a batch run.

  • When you cancel a batch job run, only the batch job parts that haven’t started processing records yet are canceled. Changes already processed by completed batch job parts aren’t reverted.
  • After you cancel a batch job, you can view the completed batch job parts. You can’t view the canceled batch job parts.
  • When you cancel a run, the run shows the Canceling status while some of the batch job parts are in progress. After all in-progress batch job parts complete, the run is marked as Canceled and any batch job parts that haven’t started get canceled.
    Note
    Note The Canceling status is shown only for certain process types depending on your licenses.
  • You can’t cancel a run after it’s complete.

Steps to cancel a batch run:

  1. Click Setup icon, and select Setup.
  2. In the Quick Find box, search for and select Monitor Workflow Services.
  3. Open the batch job run that you want to cancel.
    Make sure that you open a batch job run that’s of the type Batch.
  4. Click Cancel Run.
  5. On the confirmation window, click Cancel Run.
    You can view the completed batch job parts in the Tasks tab.
