Monitoring Command Progress

In Global, commands that are issued at one location, but have an effect at another location, are processed in parallel. This means that the next command in a series of commands may be initiated before the previous one has finished. However, there are situations where it may be essential for one command to execute completely before the next one is carried out.

To enable you to monitor the progress of Global commands, Global stores details of issued commands in a transaction database. Transaction messages are generated in the database each time the progress of the command changes. Global provides a facility that enables you to view these transaction messages, and, if necessary, cancel commands that have not been carried out yet.

For information about the structure of the transaction database, refer to Command Reference. For information about how messages are processed, refer to Running Global Projects.
