Results
If you open the results and do not see any data in the
results or logs, run the document generation again. The job might
have been canceled before it could complete. When a job is canceled
from a client application, the process is:
- The client application signals the remote document generation
to finish and considers the job canceled.
- The client application waits for the remote document generation
to stop.
- The remote document generation might ignore the cancellation request
for small document generations or for generations that are close to
completing. The Rational® Publishing Engine engine
checks for cancellations in regular intervals to avoid performance
issues that might be caused by more frequent cancellation checks.
