How to clear or delete pending Server jobs?

[DanSlayback1]

I've been searching for some method to manually clear out and delete any pending geoprocessing service jobs, in ArcGIS Server (10.3.1, on linux). Is there a way to do this?? Either via ArcGIS Server Manager, or the admin end point? Or some other tool?

Restarting the service, and/or Server itself, has no effect; the queued jobs resume processing.

Hi,

I currently do not have acecss to my server to check at the moment, but If I remember correctly, you should be able to delete the files in arcgisserver/directories/arcgisjobs/

Yes, thanks, that does seem to do the trick.

I was hoping there was a way to do this via a REST call, but it looks like manually deleting those files is the only way.

Hi,

There is no means via RESTful services that I know of.

Glad we solved your issue.

Michael and Dan,

If the GP service is asynchronous, the following REST operation can be used:

ArcGIS REST API - Cancel GP Job

The Cancel operation is pretty straightforward in that all you need to run it is the job ID that you would like to cancel.

Hi Scott,

Great!  Thanks for finding that!
