Interrupting a work unit

You can use this feature to set the interrupt flag for a work unit thread from the main work units list. This feature should only be used when the normal work unit cancellation is not working because of a long running node. The interrupt feature is only available on work units on which an attempt to cancel was first made because canceling is a cleaner and safer way to attempt to stop a work unit.

Note: Interrupting a work unit might leave application data in an indeterminate state.
  1. Access Process Server Administrator and select Process Server Administrator > Administration > Work Units > Work Units.
  2. Select the unresponsive work unit.
    Note: The status of the work unit must be canceling.
  3. Select Actions > Interrupt Work Unit Thread.
