Timer Job stuck in Aborting status -
Description
Summary :This article describes how to resolve an issue where a StoragePoint timer job is stuck in an "Aborting" status.,Symptom
After aborting a timer job in StoragePoint (e.g. Unused BLOB Cleanup, Content Migrator), the job does not cancel and sits indefinitely in the Job Status window in an "Aborting" state. -
Cause
This occurs occasionally and is possibly caused by a communication issue with the SharePoint Timer Job service. -
Resolution
To resolve the issue, delete the running job manually in SharePoint by doing the following:
- Open Central Administration and navigate to Monitoring > Timer Jobs > Review Job Definitions.
- On the jobs list, navigate to the StoragePoint section, then locate the stuck timer job on the list.
If found, click on it and select Delete. Or, you may have to disable it first, go back into the job, and then delete it. When done, proceed to step 7.
If the job does not appear on the list, proceed to step 3.
- Open SQL Server Management Studio, then expand the StoragePoint database > Tables.
- Right-click on dbo.Jobs and select Edit Top 200 Rows. The StoragePoint jobs will be displayed on the right-hand side.
- Right-click on the entry that shows "Aborting" on the Status column, then select Delete.
- Select Yes to delete the row.
- Refresh the Job Status window and the stuck job should now disappear from the list.
