When a BIRT report is launched in TRIRIGA on the Reports tab or elsewhere, a Progress Bar popup appears with a “Cancel” button.
- 1. If I click “Cancel”, will that kill the Select statement that is running against the database on the database server?
- 2. If I click “Cancel”, will that release the database connection that is used when a BIRT report starts to run?
The answer to both questions is “No”. The thread will be consumed until the Select statement is complete. There is no messaging included in the log that the Select process was orphaned due to user interaction. The process simply continues to run until the results are retrieved and then stops. So, effectively:
- 1. No, canceling a request will not kill the Select statement.
- 2. No, the thread remains unaware that the request was canceled.
When the results are returned, the thread will process them, and then hit the canceled thread. There may be a message in the log warning about an IO socket being disconnected, or some other exception dealing with the dead connection.
