How to stop Read Timed Out

Question

So I have run a apex class that makes a callout to a external application. So I triggered the callout in SFDC and I have gotten hundreds of System Exception Read Timed Out emails. I have went to Apex Jobs, and have clicked Abort but they just keep coming. I can not make any changes to my apex class because it says the class is still being used by the class.

How do I stop the queue from regenerating new exceptions? Do I have to create another apex class that calls system.abortjob(IdofException)?

Answer 1

How I've managed this in the past, e.g. because of an infinite recursive call, is to force a lock on the AsyncApexJob table; this allows me to kill the job even if it's running very quickly:

for(AsyncApexJob job:[SELECT Id FROM AsyncApexJob WHERE Status IN ('Holding','Queued','Preparing','Processing') FOR UPDATE]) {
    System.abortJob(job.Id);
}

Note: Doing this will kill any and all pending jobs, so you may need to modify this code to prevent cancelling future methods, etc.

You can run this from Execute Anonymous, which will save you the trouble of a deployment just to kill the job.

Answer 2

I had to go to Freeze the user that was causing the Read Time out continuous loop.
In my Code I setTimeout(120000); and added a try catch block to prevent this from happening again.
