Is there a way to abort currently running batch job in Salesforce? I tried to run the query below and all it did was remove all jobs from Scheduled Jobs section without stopping the one that is currently running in the background. Please help. I would like to do it without contacting Salesforce support
List<CronTrigger> jobsToAbort = [select Id from CronTrigger where CronJobDetail.JobType = '7']; for (CronTrigger job : jobsToAbort) { System.abortJob(job.Id); } Please run a SOQL query on AsyncApexJob with Status filter. CronTrigger is used to retrive Scheduled jobs wherein AsyncApexJob returns Apex Jobs (Running, Aborted, Pending, Completed etc.)
SOLUTION:
Use Below Code:-
for ( AsyncApexJob aJob : [ Select id ,Status, ApexClass.Name from AsyncApexJob where Status!='Aborted' and Status!='Completed' ] ){ System.AbortJob(aJob.Id); } Went to SetUp --> Monitoring --> Apex Jobs. There was Abort option :)
Setup -> Monitoring -> Jobs -> Scheduled Jobs Note that if you are in Lightning the Setup path has changed from the above:
Environments > Jobs > Apex Jobs In my case, I wanted to abort the "currently running job" from within the batch itself due to an error condition that would prevent any of the following operations to succeed. See example below:
global override void execute(Database.BatchableContext BC, List<SObject> scope) { try { /** do stuff **/ } catch (Exception ex) { // the finish method isn't called when we abort, so I forced it to be finish(BC); // Get current jobId from batch context to pass to the abort method System.abortJob(BC.getJobId()); // Prevent rest of code in execute method from firing by exiting with return statement return; } }
