Canceling a Job

You use CancelJob to cancel a job. You specify the job to cancel using the job ID returned in the CreateJob response. The operation fails if the job is already complete. We can, however, cancel a job in progress. You can only cancel jobs you own.

To cancel a job using the command line client

Use the CancelJob command.

The following command cancels the job JOBID.

> java -jar lib\AWSImportExportWebServiceTool-1.0.jar CancelJob JOBID

To cancel a job using REST

Submit a CancelJob request.
