cancelWorkflow Operation
The cancelWorkflow operation cancels a workflow.
The behavior of the cancelWorkflow operation depends on the workflow that it cancels. A canceled workflow
stops running in the Orchestrator server and enters the canceled state, but the actions that it has already run
or started running do not stop or reverse themselves. For example, if a workflow is performing a Power On
Virtual Machine operation when you cancel it, the virtual machine does not stop powering on, nor does it
power itself off if it has already started.
The cancelWorkflow operation is declared as follows.
public void cancelWorkflow(String workflowTokenId, String username, String password);
Type Value Description
String
workflowTokenId
The identifier of the running workflow to cancel

Return Value
No return value. The cancelWorkflow operation returns an exception if you pass it an invalid parameter.
echo Operation
The echo operation tests the connection to the Web service by returning a String message.
The echo operation is declared as follows.
public String echo(String echo);
Type Value Description
String echo An arbitrary String. If the Web service connection is working correctly, it returns the String.
Return Value
Returns the same String as you provide as an input parameter.
