Canceling a request

About this task

If an application request from the system is looping or abusing resources, it might be necessary to cancel the request. This terminates the request by throwing a runtime exception.

To cancel a request:

Procedure

  1. From the top navigation, click Problem Determination > Server Activity Display.
    The Server Activity Display page opens.
  2. Select a group and a server from the lists.
    The Server Activity Display (Active Requests) page opens.
  3. Click the link in the Client Requests column of the request that is hanging.
    A Request Detail page opens, where you can click the Cancel Request button.
  4. Click Cancel Request.
    A confirmation box displays.
  5. At the confirmation box, click OK.
    Canceling a thread can cause JVM and application server instability. Use the Cancel Thread function only when necessary, and with careful consideration of the consequences.
