Does the operation have a job number in the Jobs tab on the right side of the Production page?

That should correspond to the task's process ID in Windows. You should be able to terminate it with Task Manager or the taskkill command.

I would generally caution against killing IRIS jobs from outside IRIS, as under rare conditions this could lead to IRIS hanging. If this is a concern I would suggest reaching out to WRC who can help you confirm that a process is safe to terminate.
