    It is possible by command line using SLP version.

    Your queued SLP job is either current or an older version. Use "nbstl -L -all_versions" to find out.

    You can then modify the attribute of a certain version of SLP: 
    http://www.veritas.com/docs/000010265

    The attribute to use would be -wcopt  (window close option), by default it's SFN.

    Aaccording to admin guide:

    ■ SFN - Finish processing the active images. The window closes, but
    NetBackup continues to process the active images until they are finished.
    NetBackup does not begin to process any other images until the window
    reopens.
    ■ SHN - Cancel the processing of the active images. The window closes and
    NetBackup immediately stops processing the active images. When the
    window reopens, NetBackup begins to process the images where it left off

    The commnad to change maybe tricky if you have not done it before. Show me the output of "nbstl -L -all_versions" and tell me which version & what to change, I can guide you through.
