DOCUMENT:Q191338 31-JUL-2001 [sms] TITLE :SMS: Job Cancellation Is Not Immediate PRODUCT :Microsoft Systems Management Server PROD/VER:winnt:1.2 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbDatabase kbsmsAdmin smsadmin smsdatabase ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= When you use the Systems Management Server Administrator program to cancel a job, the job cancellation is not immediate. Any task that is currently being processed will continue to run until it is completed. The job will not queue up any new tasks, and the current phase will be canceled after the current task is completed. MORE INFORMATION ================ This is by design, and should not affect the processing of Systems Management Server. After a job is canceled, it is recommended that the job not be deleted for at least 48 hours, to allow the cancellation and/or any currently running tasks to complete.
