Web UI Publish Queue - Delete multiple events

In the Web InfoShare, we need to be able to delete multiple stalled publish events. Currently, in TD 14 SP3, we can only select one event at the time. 

  1. Go to Event Log > Publish, and select Show Busy, for example.
  2. If multiple publications have failed these will be listed and will clog the view.
  3. Provide an option to do a multiple selection before you click Delete, or an advanced Delete

  • Actually, this does not work. All this does is delete the log file(s) from this queue. It doesn’t stop anyone’s publishing (a single pub or multiple pubs). As far as we can tell, the only way to do this is for the publishing user him/herself to click the Cancel publish button for their selected publication. I don’t know if there is a way for an admin to kill others’ publish jobs. If there is a way for an admin to kill another user's job, can someone comment here?

    That's not how I understood the question.
    Stopping an event on the server is possible by an administrator.

    1. Open an event in the event log and find the Process ID. 
    2. log in to the server that is handling the job. 
    3. In the task manager make the column PID visible.
    4. Search for the Process ID and kill the job.

    Hi Elizabeth, my question was related to tidying up after multiple failed events. The processes would be either stalled or failed on the server. 

    We publish using some automated scripts that will cancel publishing if it runs for too long. The event on the other hand will remain in the Publishing Queue in the Web InfoShare.
