How do I start, stop, or pause an operation?

Purpose

You can stop or pause an existing operation, and start or stop a phase within an operation. Operations can be paused manually by a user, or automatically by crossing a configured threshold (for example, percentage of failed executions). Phases that are waiting can be manually started, and a phase that is in progress can be stopped or paused. An operation that is configured to proceed per-target cannot be paused.

When an operation is paused, any executions in progress continue to completion, and no more executions are launched until the operation is started or stopped. Starting a paused operation continues the current phase.

When an operation is stopped, any executions in progress continue to completion, and any executions remaining in the phase are cancelled and marked as failed. Starting a stopped operation starts the next phase, if one exists.
