We have had some questions recently regarding stopping a job
in Automic. Sometimes when this is done, the process/sub-processes that is/are
running will keep going. In order to cancel jobs and the associated
process/sub-processes it creates, you can utilize the Job Object section of the
Windows tab:

Job object
|
Determines whether the Windows Job object is
used to group a process (job) and all the sub-processes it creates.
If an Automation Engine job which is assigned a Job object
is canceled, all sub-processes will also be canceled. Moreover, a Job object
signals its end when all sub-processes are terminated.
Without a Job object, the Job has no control
of its sub-processes. As a result, this means the job may end even if
sub-processes are still running. Moreover, if such a job (without the Job
object) is canceled, sub-processes are not terminated. This is a burden in
automation and even for restarts.
Note that the Automation Engine job does not end before all
sub-processes are ended. The job reports show whether a particular job used a Windows Job object.
