When a validation or deployment is started in Gearset, the package Gearset has built is uploaded using the Salesforce metadata API and queued for deployment.
One of the limitations of the Salesforce metadata API is that cancellation isn't well supported during certain operations including validating or deploying. However, you can request cancellation from within the Setup
menu of the target org.
To request cancellation, you need to:
Log into the target Salesforce org.
Filter the
Setup
menu to findDeployment Status
.
3. You'll see any deployments or validations that are in progress, and you can request cancellation.
