## Examples

::: example
### Stopping Restore Session

This example shows how to stop a restore session initiated to perform operations with the SAP HANA database.

```
$session = Get-VEHANARestoreSession
Stop-VEHANARestoreSession -Session $session[3]
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VEHANARestoreSession`](get-vehanarestoresession.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the `$session` variable.

   The cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Note the ordinal number of the necessary restore session (in this example, it is the fourth restore session in the array).

2. Run the `Stop-VEHANARestoreSession` cmdlet. Set the `$session` variable as the `Session` parameter value and select the necessary restore session.
