Do you mean to cancel a running backup job or disable a client/policy?
List running jobs
mccli activity show --active
Cancelling a running job
mccli activity cancel --id=String --wait[=min]; where id equals the job you see listed
Disabling a client
mccli client edit --name=String --enabled=false
You can find specific examples in the MCCLI guide available on the EMC Support Site.
Let us know if that helps!

The client is disabled. However, the job does not come as disabled in the VDP GUI. However, the backup fails for this VM. Not a very expected way. I thought the VDP Job will be listed as disabled.
But, I will take this answer any day. Thanks.

From my experience VDP and Avamar are separate products. They share a lot of things but you can't assume what is documented in Avamar will work in VDP. You need to be very cautious doing things in mccli in VDP. If you want Avamar functionality you should purchase Avamar.
"VDP job" = A combination of Avamar group, schedule, dataset, retention and clients.
Avamar job = an individual backup, restore or replication job running.
I highly recommending disabling a job using what is documented in the VDP admin guide. With that said what you are trying to do is a function of groups and probably is possible in mccli.
I use mccli activity cancel --id= all the time in VDP as there is no function in VDP GUI that lets you do this.
