public void CancelJobSimple(
    Guid jobUID
)

Parameters

Remarks

CancelJobSimple calls CancelJob with the parameters cancelCorrelationJobs = true and cancelSendIncompleteJobs = false.

Note

There is a potential race condition between checking the state of a job and calling CancelJobSimple. When an application checks the state of a job, it might be ReadyForProcessing. Before calling CancelJobSimple, the state can switch to Processing or any other state.
