Question

What is the best practice to stop an ongoing job in orchestrator?

Answer 1

By cancelling it and using a Should Stop activity inside the workflow is the best practice to stop an ongoing job in orchestrator.

Explanation:

The Robot must run multiple processes without any interference, all jobs should be activated one after the other even if the Robot is busy. These jobs go in a queue, with the Pending status, and when the Robot is available again, Orchestrator triggers the next job.

To stop a job, they Should Stop activity is needed in the process workflow. This activity returns a Boolean that indicates if the Stop button was clicked.
