Terminate instance

To close a specific spreadsheet instance in the WebHost worker process, enter the ID of the instance to be closed. The parameter creates this direct link:

http://[ServerName]/WebAlias/default.aspx?doShutdown=true&CloseInstanceId=[ID]

When all instances have closed, the user is logged off and the WebHost worker process terminates.

This parameter is often used in web pages to free resources in WebHost when an IFrame is closed.

The Close button in DirectLinkManager.aspx closes the instance specified in the Terminate Instance field.
