Stopping an Import

Stop Web Script

The stop Web Script is an HTTP POST Web Script located at service path /bulk/import/stop that will stop an in-progress import (or return an error, if one isn't in progress). The current state of the bulk import tool can be determined via the status Web Script.

As a convenience for human operators, this Web Script can also be invoked from the status Web Script, via the red "stop" button visible in the HTML version of the Web Script.

Notes:

• Imports are stopped asynchronously, so although this Web Script will return immediately the bulk import may take some time (typically seconds) to complete. You can determine when the import has indeed stopped by calling the status Web Script.
• This web script is useful for scripted approaches - it can be used to forcibly terminate an in-progress import.
