Monitor and Cancel Long Running Processes

Monitor and Cancel Long Running Processes

Security:
Planning Center
 permission.
The Long Running Processes report in the Planning Center enables you to review and cancel processes that have been running for more than 30 seconds. When larger processes run at peak-traffic times, they can decrease performance and block normal planning activities. You can now identify these large processes, cancel most of them when necessary, and re-run them during low-traffic times.
Some processes can’t be canceled. They have
uncancellable
 in the Action column of the report.
The report doesn’t display:
  • Processes once cancellation is complete.
  • The related sheet, report, version, or model component.
