    The API is actually working correctly. The API does not return a False for jobs that have been purged or canceled. The hasJobFinishedExecution( ) handles the logic for the jobs that have been canceled or purged.
    The issue may be that the cancellation of the job might take a little longer, and the time between when the cancel has been issued and the time the job actually gets canceled - the method will return false as the job has not been canceled yet.
