Unable to stop a scheduled job programmatically

I'm using IScheduledJobRepository to lookup a job and then calling IScheduledJobExecutor.Cancel(id) to stop this job if running, but it's not working. The job keeps running. This logic is not throwing any errors/exceptions either.

Any thoughts on what may be wrong?

IScheduledJobExecutor.Cancel() will not immediately kill the scheduled job, but only call job.Stop().

In order for this to work:

- Your job must be stoppable. (IsStoppable returns true)
- Your job must actually stop, if asked to. (Continously checking if .Stop() is called, and then stop executing)

Hi Ritu,

If you are doing some iterations using for/foreach etc.. then make sure you are calling stop method in that loop itself.

Thanks Tomas and Ravindra!

I believe we've missed the stop check in one of the many loops we have in the job logic, which is not letting it stop this way. Will add that.
