Stop a Migration Job

You can stop a migration job from the Job Overview pane on the Data Migration tab.

The effects of stopping a migration job on your destination database depend on the type and stage of the migration job:

  • If you stop a snapshot migration job during the snapshot stage, any partially migrated data remains in the MongoDB database.

  • After a migration job is stopped, you cannot resume it. To migrate data from a stopped migration job, you can create a new job and select the option Drop destination collections before migration.

Once initiated, the process of canceling or completing a migration job may take up to one minute.

To stop your migration job, follow the instructions below based on the current stage of execution:

  1. In the upper-right corner of the screen, click the red Terminate button.

  2. On the pop-up modal, click the red Terminate button. Once a migration job cancels, an x icon displays in the History pane, and the status of the migration job updates to Snapshot cancelled.
