Canceling or deleting a data mining run

In this section ShowHide

At any point before a data mining run has completed, you can cancel the run. A canceled run remains on the Data Mining Runs page and can be re-run as is or with modifications. For example, suppose there are several runs in the queue. You need the one that was most recently submitted to run first. You can cancel all runs except the most recently submitted one. Later, you can re-run the canceled runs.

When a run has completed, the run status becomes either Complete or Error Occurred, and you can delete the run. You can also delete a run that has been canceled (the run status is Canceled). Data mining runs can take up a significant amount of server space. Deleting runs that are no longer needed frees up this space for other processes.

Note: To learn more about the error that caused a run to fail, review the information on the Jobs for Run page.

To cancel a data mining run:

1.         On the Data Mining Runs page, click the row menu () for a run, and then click Cancel.

The Cancel option is available as soon as the run is submitted. You can cancel a run that is currently running or that is scheduled to run in the future.

2.         At the message asking if you want to cancel the run, click OK.

The status of the run changes to Canceled. You can delete or re-run the run.

To delete a data mining run:

• Before a deleting a run, you might want to make sure that it is not referenced by any drug profile configurations or signal configurations, because such references are removed.

Note: If you want to delete multiple runs at the same time, on the Data Mining Runs page, click Select Rows.

1.         On the Data Mining Runs page, click for a run, and then click Delete.

The Delete option is available only when the run has a status of Completed, Error Occurred, or Canceled. If you want to delete a run that is currently running or is scheduled to run in the future, you must cancel it first.

2.         At the message asking if you want to delete the run, click OK.

Any case series associated with the run are retained, but they no longer have an associated run.

When you delete a run that is associated with an alias, the target status of the alias becomes Broken.

Which runs you can cancel or delete

You can always cancel or delete the data mining runs that you have created, even if your username does not have the Delete Any Run permission.

You can cancel or delete runs created by any users in your login group if you have the Delete Any Run permission.
