Any number of CIM sessions can be run at one time. However, two load sessions cannot be opened for a single file. To run two sessions, divide the file.

When running multiple sessions, use CIM Data Load Process Monitor (36.15.4). The monitor shows the state of all existing CIM sessions. Type and Process Session are indexes to the sessions. Enter Process in Type and use (/) to first see all the Process sessions, followed by the Load sessions. If you select Next at the Session field, the current status of the processes displays continuously. The display shows startup time, last transaction time, and selection criteria used when the session was started.

Although a CIM session runs under the operating system and can be stopped using operating system commands, this is not advised. When the operating system kills a session, your QAD application is not notified and a record of the session may still display in the CIM Data Load Process Monitor (36.15.4).

The best way to kill a CIM session is to use the Process Monitor. To kill a session, identify the session using the Type and Session fields then press the F5 key in the Session field. A prompt asks you to confirm that you want to delete this record.

If the session was invoked with a low-dispatch priority, your monitor may still display a session after it has been stopped, with a status of Killed. To erase the session from the system, delete it again by putting the cursor on the Session field and pressing F5.
