Abort a schedule

Coordinators can abort a schedule to stop all work in the schedule from that point in time. When a master schedule is aborted, only the master schedule and its tasks are affected. The subschedules and the subschedule tasks are not aborted and they continue to execute. If the subschedules also need to be aborted, that must be done separately.

Note: This option is unavailable during a deferred session.

Caution: Once a schedule has been set to Aborted, the schedule status cannot be changed or reversed.

Procedure

1. In Schedule Manager, select the schedule and choose Schedule→Abort.
2. In the Abort dialog box, select the Aborted status from the list and click Yes.

Results

The schedule, all of its executing and planned schedule tasks, and its associated executing and planned workflow tasks are aborted. However, they remain in the database in case the data is needed in the future.

Note: If a schedule is aborted, the coordinator can change only the Published and Is Schedule Public schedule properties to take the schedule offline. No other schedule or schedule task property can be changed, nor can the schedule or task be deleted.
