Canceling Commands (XMLA)

Depending on the administrative permissions of the user issuing the command, the Cancel command in XML for Analysis (XMLA) can cancel a command on a session, a session, a connection, a server process, or an associated session or connection.

Canceling Commands

A user can cancel the currently executing command within the context of the current explicit session by sending a Cancel command with no specified properties.

Note

A command running in an implicit session cannot be canceled by a user.

Canceling Batch Commands

If a user cancels a Batch command, then all remaining commands not yet executed within the Batch command are canceled. If the Batch command was transactional, any commands that were executed before the Cancel command runs are rolled back.

Canceling Sessions

By specifying a session identifier for an explicit session in the SessionID property of the Cancel command, a database administrator or server administrator can cancel a session, including the currently executing command. A database administrator can only cancel sessions for databases on which he or she has administrative permissions.

A database administrator can retrieve the active sessions for a specified database by retrieving the DISCOVER_SESSIONS schema rowset. To retrieve the DISCOVER_SESSIONS schema rowset, the database administrator uses the XMLA Discover method and specifies the appropriate database identifier for the SESSION_CURRENT_DATABASE restriction column in the Restrictions property of the Discover method.

Canceling Connections

By specifying a connection identifier in the ConnectionID property of the Cancel command, a server administrator can cancel all of the sessions associated with a given connection, including all running commands, and cancel the connection.

Note

If the instance of Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services cannot locate and cancel the sessions associated with a connection, such as when the data pump opens multiple sessions while providing HTTP connectivity, the instance cannot cancel the connection. If this case is encountered during the execution of a Cancel command, an error occurs.

A server administrator can retrieve the active connections for an Analysis Services instance by retrieving the DISCOVER_CONNECTIONS schema rowset using the XMLA Discover method.

Canceling Server Processes

By specifying a server process identifier (SPID) in the SPID property of the Cancel command, a server administrator can cancel the commands associated with a given SPID.

Canceling Associated Sessions and Connections

You can set the CancelAssociated property to true to cancel the connections, sessions, and commands associated with the connection, session, or SPID specified in the Cancel command.
