cancel - Cancel job or task

Syntax

cancel(t)
cancel(j)

Arguments

t

Pending or running task to cancel.

j

Pending, running, or queued job to cancel.

Description

cancel(t) stops the task object, t, that is currently in the pending or running state. The task's State property is set to finished, and no output arguments are returned. An error message stating that the task was canceled is placed in the task object's ErrorMessage property, and the worker session running the task is restarted.

cancel(j) stops the job object, j, that is pending, queued, or running. The job's State property is set to finished, and a cancel is executed on all tasks in the job that are not in the finished state. A job object that has been canceled cannot be started again.

If the job is running in a job manager, any worker sessions that are evaluating tasks belonging to the job object will be restarted.

Examples

Cancel a task. Note afterward the task's State, ErrorMessage, and OutputArguments properties.

job1 = createJob(jm);
t = createTask(job1, @rand, 1, {3,3});
