1.1 Prerequisites

This section describes the prerequisites, which must be fulfilled before using the procedure.

2 Procedure

2.1 Cancel a User Data Backup

To cancel a backup:

Navigate to the BrMBackupManager Managed Object (MO), for example:
>dn ManagedElement=<Node Name>,SystemFunctions=1,BrM=1,BrmBackupManager=USER_DATA
Select the appropriate action:
- Cancel a create, delete, or import operation: Proceed with Step 3.
- Cancel export operation: Process with Step 6.
Cancel the create, delete, or import operation:
(BrmBackupManager=USER_DATA)>cancelCurrentAction

The system returns output true or false.
Verify that the operation was canceled:
(BrmBackupManager=USER_DATA)>show -v

Note:
It can be required to enter the command several times until result=SUCCESS is shown in the progress report.
Proceed with Step 9.
Navigate to the BrmBackup MO, for example:
(BrmBackupManager=USER_DATA)>BrmBackup=testBackup_20150617
Cancel export operation:
(BrmBackup=testBackup_20150617)>cancelCurrentAction

The system returns output true or false.
Verify that the operation was canceled:
(BrmBackup=testBackup_20150617)>show -v

Note:
It can be required to enter the command several times until state=CANCELLED is shown in the progress report.

After an operation is successfully canceled, the progress report shows the following when a create operation has been canceled:

actionName="CREATE"
      additionalInfo
         "Cancel Current Action Request was invoked by the operator."
         "Backup Object [testBackup_20150617] was successfully deleted"
         "Create Backup for testBackup_20150617: Failed"
      progressInfo=""
      progressPercentage=50
      result=FAILURE
      resultInfo="Backup cancelled successfully."
      state=CANCELLED

The progress report shows the following when a delete operation has been canceled:

actionName="DELETE" <read-only>
additionalInfo
   "Cancel Current Action Request was invoked by the ⇒
operator."
[...]
   result=FAILURE <read-only>
   resultInfo="CANCEL_PHASE is completed" <read-only>
   state=CANCELLED <read-only>

The progress report shows the following when an import operation has been canceled:

actionName="IMPORT" <read-only>
additionalInfo
   "Cancel Current Action Request was invoked by the ⇒
operator."
[...]
   result=FAILURE <read-only>
   resultInfo="CANCEL_PHASE is completed" <read-only>
   state=CANCELLED <read-only>

The progress report shows the following when an export operation has been canceled:

actionName="EXPORT" <read-only>
additionalInfo
   "CANCEL_PHASE is completed"
[...]
   result=FAILURE <read-only>
   resultInfo="CANCEL_PHASE is completed" <read-only>
   state=CANCELLED <read-only>

If an error occurs during the execution of the action, attribute reportProgress shows result=FAILURE and resultInfo shows the cause of the failure.
