troubleshooting business processes that have either stopped or are hanging. You
can also stop a thread from the Thread Monitor.

the Business Process Monitor. These options allow you to maintain the state and
the status information.
Monitoring a Thread

Monitor. Sterling B2B Integrator displays the following information for each
thread:
v The state of the thread.
v The ID of the thread. (Click the ID number for more information about the
thread.)
v The type of the thread:
– Business Process – Click the ID number in the ID column to display the
Business Process Detail page.
– RMI (Remote Management Interface) – Click the ID number in the ID column
to display the Business Process Detail page.
– Harness – Click the ID number in the ID column to display the Business
Process Detail page.
– Schedule – Click the ID number in the ID column to display the Schedule
settings.
v The processing priority assigned to the thread
v The date and time at which the thread was registered
Note: You can also view thread details from the System Troubleshooting screen
(Operations > System > Troubleshooter).
Interrupting a Thread
Important: Before using the Thread Monitor to interrupt a thread, contact IBM
Customer Support for assistance. Else, unexpected processing results may occur,
which may in turn affect other processes. It is recommended that you interrupt the
business processes from the Business Process Monitor.
To interrupt a thread, click the Interrupt icon adjacent that thread. This instructs
the thread to immediately interrupt processing without waiting for any steps to
complete or exit with an error. In most cases, the thread will be interrupted
immediately, but the display in the Thread Monitor will not be changed
immediately. The thread will be marked as interrupted later.
Note: In some situations, it may not be possible to interrupt a thread, and your
attempt may not succeed. Interrupting a thread does not stop the service the
thread is using. The service is still available for Sterling B2B Integrator to use in
other business processes.
