Stop a Job

  • Makale

This topic describes how to stop a Microsoft SQL Server Agent job. A job is a specified series of actions that SQL Server Agent performs.

Before You Begin

Limitations and Restrictions

  • If a job is currently executing a step of type CmdExec or PowerShell, the process that is being run (for example, MyProgram.exe) is forced to end prematurely. This can cause unpredictable behavior, such as files that are being used by the process being held open.

  • For a multiserver job, a STOP instruction for the job is posted to all target servers of the job.

Security
