How to cancel a running Audit Instance

Problem

Sometimes audit instance is running too long and or can get stuck due to failure. Or a person running the audit just want to cancel it due to wrong data set or some other reason.

Solution

Audit run can be cancelled in two different ways:

Delete the related Audit Instance record
Change the Audit Instance status to Failed

Both of these options will stop the process after a little while.

Deleting the related Audit instance record

Go to "DCM - Data Content Manager" application
Open "Audit Instances" module under Administration
Find the Audit instance you want to cancel

Open the record and Delete it
OR select record from the list and delete it via the List view action at the bottom

After a while all audit instance related activities will stop

Change the audit instance status to Failed

In case you want to keep the audit instance and already processed records, you can also change the status to stop the audit process.

Go to Audit instances module and find the related audit instance record just like before
Change the record status to "Failed" and Update the record

After a while all audit instance related activities will stop
