How to unschedule a service

[Al Byers <by...@automationgroups.com>]

I am just looking into service scheduling and I see plenty for 
scheduling a long running, recurring service, but nothing for 
terminating that scheduled activity. Is it just a matter of finding that 
JobSandbox record and modifying the finishDateTime?

This is correct. If you cancel a service before it runs, the next  
instance will not run and prevent the service from being rescheduled.  
Simply issuing a cancel on a job is the best and easiest way to do this.

The other way is to set the end date on the recurrence. At this  
moment there is no UI for this, so you will have to edit this in the  
recurrence tables.

I think this can be done easily from webtools by just clicking on cancle
button of the scheduled service. I am not sure but I guess I have done this
before.

Al,

I don't think just changing the finishDateTime or the statusId will
stop a scheduled service from running.  I've tried those techniques
before and the services continue to run.  I think you need to change
the recurrenceInfo data to kill a scheduled service.  This is
something Andy could probably answer best.  One of these days I'm
going to take the time to figure out how to do this and put it in the
wiki.

Does anyone have a good formula for stopping services in the job_sandbox?

I am guessing you would have pass a callback into the service that could 
pass a cancel parm.

Brief glance at the service code does not show a direct way to do this.

Web tools cancel only removes the job from the list, has no effect once 
the job is running.

SandBox is the initiator and record keeper. Has no effect once the 
service is running.
