In this article, we will see how you can stop the already running pipeline in Azure Data Factory (ADF).

To stop a running pipeline in Azure Data Factory, you can follow these steps:

• Log into the Azure portal: https://portal.azure.com/
• Open Azure Data Factory Studio and navigate to your Azure Data Factory instance. Once there, open the Azure Data Factory Studio.
  
• Monitor Tab: In the ADF Studio, go to the Monitor tab. This tab provides a comprehensive view of all the pipeline runs.
  
• Find the Pipeline Run: In the Monitor tab, you'll see a list of pipeline runs with their status (running, succeeded, failed, etc.). Find the pipeline run that you want to stop. You can use the filters to narrow down the search based on pipeline name, run status, date range, etc.
  
• Cancel the Pipeline Run: Once you have located the running pipeline, click on it to open the details. Here, you should see an option to cancel the run. This option will stop the execution of the pipeline.
  
• Please note, there are two options:
  • Cancel: This option will stop the running pipeline execution.
  • Cancel Recursive: This option will stop the main as well as all the child pipeline-runs.
• Confirm Cancellation: After clicking the cancel button, you might be prompted to confirm the cancellation. Confirm it, and the pipeline run will be stopped.
  
• Check the Status: After cancellation, the status of the pipeline run should change to Cancelled. This can be verified in the Monitor tab.
