TerminateServiceJobs

Terminates up to 50 service jobs in a job queue. This is a bulk version of TerminateServiceJob.

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

Important

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

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 specified service jobs with a reason.
