Cancel the task

JamesBond

Hi
I see the method cancel in IEngineTask. Could somebody explain the behavior of it. Does it cancels the running query also in DB ?

thanks

Hi JamesBond,<br />
<br />
You can see the method here in the JavaDoc:<br />
<br />
<a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.com/documentation/BIRT_231/EngineJavadoc/engine/api/org/eclipse/birt/report/engine/api/IEngineTask.html#cancel('>IEngineTask (Birt Engine API 2.3.0)</a>)<br />
<br />
From what I understand, you can use it to cancel the report, but I don't think you can use it to cancel the running query.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps.
