safely stop bulk publishing layers from a datastore

[ChrisJensen]

Does anyone know how to safely stop bulk  publishing the contents of a geodatabase once started?

Hi Chris,

The only way I can think of would be to go into Server Manager and manually stop the System/Publishing Tools service. This should cancel the rest of the publishing operations, at which point you can go in and delete the services you don't want anymore. 

As for a built-in method, I don't think one exists. This could be a good enhancement request or Idea though.

Thanks Calvin.  I was fortunate to get a chat with tech support during the process.  He is going to request that enhancement you speak of.  We ended up waiting for the layer creation to complete, it didn't because the Portal logs filled up and crashed the process.  However, once the process runs, a "delete published layers" appears so they can all be deleted.  Then we went into portal admin and cleaned the logs.
