Remarks

You can delete a job only if it is in the Creating or Completed state and the drives have not been shipped. After you delete a job, you will no longer be able to get information about that job. See Retrieving State Information for a Job for information about job states.

You can call Delete Job with conditional headers specified to create the job only when certain conditions are met. When specifying conditional headers, keep in mind the following:

• If a request specifies both the If-None-Match and If-Modified-Since headers, the request is evaluated based on the criteria specified in If-None-Match.

• If a request specifies both the If-Match and If-Unmodified-Since headers, the request is evaluated based on the criteria specified in If-Match.

• With the exception of the two combinations of conditional headers listed above, a request may specify only a single conditional header. Specifying more than one conditional header results in status code 400 (Bad Request).

The following table indicates the response codes returned for an unmet condition for each conditional header:

Conditional header	Response code if condition has not been met
If-Modified-Since	Precondition Failed (412)
If-Unmodified-Since	Precondition Failed (412)
If-Match	Precondition Failed (412)
If-None-Match	Precondition Failed (412)
