  Review Logs: Analyze the job logs for any errors or warnings that may have led to the cancellation. This can provide insights into whether the job was canceled due to an error or user action.
  Re-run the Job: If the job was canceled unintentionally, you can re-run it. Ensure that any issues that caused the cancellation are addressed before re-execution.
  User Training: If the cancellation was due to user error, consider providing training or guidelines on how to monitor and manage background jobs effectively.
