  Wait for Completion: If the job is still running, it may be best to wait for it to complete. Depending on the size of the data being processed, it may take some time.
  Check for Errors: If the job has failed or is taking too long, check the job log for any error messages or warnings that could indicate what went wrong.
  System Performance: If performance is an issue, consider checking system resources (CPU, memory, etc.) and optimizing them if necessary. You may also want to check for any locks or other processes that could be affecting performance.
