Perform this procedure to stop a task instance from running.

To stop a task instance:

  1. Select Tasks & LogsView Task Results, and select a task instance from the Task Results list.

  2. Click [Stop]. If the task instance is in a terminal state, [Stop] is disabled. If the task can be stopped, a dialog appears, asking if you want to cancel or kill the selected task instance. If the tool does not signify that the task can be killed, the dialog box asks you to confirm the cancellation of the task instance. Killing a task attempts to interrupt any In Progress commands, while canceling stops Pending systems from starting and enables any Running or In Progress commands to complete.
