    I believe you are looking for the TImeout setting of the Task:

      Agreed with @koryknick

      @Mahesh7225: What time your job has been scheduled? How would you want to stop that? 4hrs after the execution or 4hrs after trying to run that job?

      Thanks!

    Hi @Mahesh7225,

    I don’t think is possible automatically to stop some process, but depending of your logic in the process you can control when to stop.

    Example: You are querying some DB. You will have to make a copy of the same process, and also you will need to modify the process at the beginning to check if the time is 5PM (router or filter). After that at the end to call the copied process or original.

    1. The process is scheduled to start at 2PM.
    2. If the criteria is satisficed (5PM) then continue with the process, if not then end.
    3. Then you need to call the copied process or vice versa.

    I hope this will help.

    Thanks,
    Pero M.
