FAQPage Schema

How do I cancel a running job that is taking too long in a Weaver API environment?▼

To cancel a running job in a Weaver API environment, you can dismiss the job using its specific job ID. This action updates the job status to 'dismissed', halting further execution and immediately freeing up allocated system resources.

When should I dismiss a pending job instead of waiting for execution?▼

You should dismiss a pending job when it has incorrect parameters or is no longer required for your workflow. Dismissing the job prevents unnecessary execution and deallocates the queued resources, ensuring they are available for other tasks.

What is the best way to handle job cancellation and resource deallocation for pending tasks?▼

The best way to handle job cancellation and resource deallocation for pending tasks is to use a job dismissal interface. This approach updates the job status to 'dismissed' and automatically manages the resource cleanup for stopped jobs.

Do I need specific API permissions to dismiss and update job statuses?▼

Yes, you need API access with job management permissions to dismiss and update job statuses. This authorization is required to terminate running or pending jobs and handle the associated resource deallocation within the Weaver API environment.

Can I use job dismissal to handle incorrect parameters in a running job?▼

Yes, you can use job dismissal to handle incorrect parameters in a running job. By canceling the job execution, you stop the process from continuing with invalid data, update the status to 'dismissed', and free up the allocated resources.

Why does dismissing a job update its status to 'dismissed' rather than 'cancelled'?▼

Dismissing a job updates its status to 'dismissed' to explicitly indicate that the job was manually stopped and its resources were deallocated. This status distinction helps track job termination for long-running or unnecessary tasks within the Weaver API.
