Long-Running Processes in the Planning Center

Long-Running Processes in the Planning Center

With the 2024R2 Release, we provide a new report,
Long-Running Processes
, in the Planning Center. This feature enables you to review and cancel processes that have been running for more than 30 seconds.
Planning Center is not available to customers in Singapore at this time.

Business Benefits

Long-Running Processes helps you identify and stop processes that are causing bottlenecks in your model. When larger processes run at peak-traffic times, they can decrease performance and block normal planning activities. You can now identify these large processes, cancel them when necessary, and re-run them during low-traffic times.

Changes

In the
Planning Center
, we provide a new section, called
Process Dashboard
. The
Process Dashboard
 includes
Long-Running Processes
. When you click
Long-Running Processes
, we provide a list of processes that have been running for over 30 seconds.
You can use the
Cancel
 button in the
Action
 column to stop a process. When we don’t enable you to stop a process, we display
uncancellable
 in the
Action
 column.
Long-Running Processes include these processes types:
  • Sheet loads.
  • APIs.
  • Admin updates.
  • Excel exports.
  • Imports.
Admin updates include these processes:
  • Locking and archiving archives.
  • Copying or importing large sheets.
  • Deleting sheets with high dimensionality.
  • Deleting or changing custom dimensions or levels.
  • Changing sheet definitions.
We only display:
  • Processes that have been running for over 30 seconds.
  • The username of the person running the process.
We don’t display:
  • Processes after you canceled them.
  • The related sheet, report, version, or model component.

Example

You can stop large imports during high-traffic times, so that regular processes can proceed. As an option, you can reach out to the listed user who started running the process to let them know that you canceled it and encourage the user to try again at a low-traffic time.

What Do I Need to Do
