11.5.2. Managing Scanning Tasks Over REST

You can cancel a scanning task by sending a REST call with the cancel action, specifying the task ID. For example, the following call cancels the scanning task initiated in the previous section.

$curl
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin"
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin"
 --request POST
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/taskscanner/edfaf59c-aad1-442a-adf6-3620b24f8385?_action=cancel"
    

The output for a scanning task cancelation request is similar to the following, but on a single line:

    {"_id":"edfaf59c-aad1-442a-adf6-3620b24f8385",
     "action":"cancel",
     "status":"SUCCESS"}
