Methods

An operation identifier.

Return Value:

true if the operation was canceled; false if it was not found.

You can access the operation identifier using the operationId field that extends the Promise object returned from the load() and reload() methods.

    // DataSource is configured here
});

var loadPromise = ds.load();
loadPromise.done(function (result) {

NOTE

Calling this method does not interrupt the HTTP request.
