Deleting Disk Import Transfer Jobs

Delete a disk import transfer job.

Typically, you would delete a transfer job early in the transfer process and before you create any transfer packages or their associated disks. For example, you initiated the data transfer by creating a transfer job, but changed your mind. If you want to delete a transfer job later in the transfer process, you must first delete all transfer packages and their associated disks from the transfer job.

Using the Console

  1. Open the navigation menu and click Migration & Disaster Recovery. Under Data Transfer, click Imports. The Transfer Jobs page appears.

  2. Choose a Compartment you have permission to work in under List scope. All transfer jobs in that compartment are listed in tabular form.

  3. Click the transfer job that you want to delete. The transfer job's Details page appears.

  4. Click Delete.

  5. Confirm the deletion when prompted.

Using the Data Transfer Utility

Use the dts job delete command and required parameters to delete a disk import transfer job.

dts job delete --job-id job_id

Run dts job delete --help to view the complete list of flags and variable options.

For example:

dts job delete --job-id ocid1.datatransferjob.oc1..exampleuniqueID

Confirm the deletion when prompted. The transfer job is deleted with no further action or return. To confirm the deletion, display the list of transfer jobs in the compartment. See Listing Disk Import Transfer Jobs for more information.
