Canceling a thread's processing

A system administrator can use TM1® Top to request the cancellation of certain thread operations or functions that are processing-intensive.

TM1 Top can cancel only threads with a state of Run that are running functions involving TurboIntegrator processing, constructing a view, or calculating a view.

The state of a thread is indicated under the State field in the TM1 Top display.

This functionality provides a way to cancel an action that is negatively impacting other threads by consuming too much of the server's processing time. For example, a TI process that gets stuck in a loop, or when a user tries to compute a very large and demanding view.

To cancel a thread, you must use the Cancel and Verify commands together.
