When can a user re-submit a discovery job after it has been canceled?

A user can re-submit a discovery job after it has been canceled when it states “Cancel - Discovery is Waiting.” This status indicates that the job has been canceled before any substantive processing took place, allowing the user to make the necessary adjustments or corrections and then re-initiate the discovery job.

In contrast, the other statuses signify different states of the job that prevent immediate resubmission. For example, “Cancel - Discovery is in Process” suggests that the job was actively being processed when it was canceled, which means the job has already begun its operational steps, and re-submission would require the job to first fully stop and reset its state. Similarly, “Cancel - Publishing in Process” and “Cancel - Publishing is Waiting” imply that the job has moved beyond the initial discovery phase, typically involving interpretation of results or documentation, where simply resubmitting without resolving the underlying concerns would not be appropriate.

Understanding these distinctions is crucial for effective job management and workflow within the discovery process.
