TerminateJobs - AWS Batch

TerminateJobs

Terminates up to 50 jobs in a job queue. This is a bulk version of TerminateJob. Jobs that are in the STARTING or RUNNING state are terminated, which causes them to transition to FAILED. Jobs that have not progressed to the STARTING state are cancelled.

AWS Batch reports the result for each job individually in the response. Jobs that were processed successfully are reported in the successful list. Jobs that encountered errors are reported in the errors list. The response returns an HTTP status code of 200 even when some jobs encountered errors, so check the errors list. Jobs that can't be found are treated as successfully processed.

Important

This operation requires batch:TerminateJob permission for each job in the request. There is no separate batch:TerminateJobs IAM action. If a caller's IAM policy grants batch:TerminateJob, they can use both the singular TerminateJob and bulk TerminateJobs operations.

Request Syntax

POST /v1/terminatejobs HTTP/1.1 Content-type: application/json { "jobs": [ "string" ], "reason": "string" }

URI Request Parameters

The request does not use any URI parameters.

Request Body

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

jobs

An array of up to 50 AWS Batch job IDs of the jobs to terminate.

Type: Array of strings

Required: Yes

reason

A message to attach to the job that explains the reason for terminating it. This message is returned by future DescribeJobs operations on the job. It is also recorded in the AWS Batch activity logs.

This parameter has a limit of 1024 characters.

Type: String

Required: Yes

Response Syntax

HTTP/1.1 200 Content-type: application/json { "errors": [ { "code": "string", "job": "string", "message": "string" } ], "successful": [ "string" ] }

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

errors

A list of TerminateJobsErrorDetail items, one for each job that couldn't be terminated. Each item includes the job ID along with a code and message that describe why the job wasn't terminated.

Type: Array of TerminateJobsErrorDetail objects

successful

A list of the job IDs whose termination request was accepted.

Type: Array of strings

Errors

ClientException

These errors are usually caused by a client action. One example cause is using an action or resource on behalf of a user that doesn't have permissions to use the action or resource. Another cause is specifying an identifier that's not valid.

HTTP Status Code: 400

ServerException

These errors are usually caused by a server issue.

HTTP Status Code: 500

Examples

In the following example or examples, the Authorization header contents ( [authorization-params] ) must be replaced with an AWS Signature Version 4 signature. For more information about creating these signatures, see Signature Version 4 Signing Process in the AWS General Reference.

You only need to learn how to sign HTTP requests if you intend to manually create them. When you use the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) or one of the AWS SDKs to make requests to AWS, these tools automatically sign the requests for you with the access key that you specify when you configure the tools. When you use these tools, you don't need to learn how to sign requests yourself.

Example

This example terminates the jobs with the specified job IDs.
