The TM1 Top utility enables you to dynamically monitor the threads/operations running in an instance of the TM1 server and kill a TM1 operation

TM1 Top is a stand-alone utility that runs within a console (command) window on a Microsoft Windows system. It is designed to make minimal demands on the TM1 server and the supporting network and system.

With the exception of a user-initiated login process, TM1 Top does not use any cube or dimension resources in the TM1 server, and does not use or interact with the data or locks on the TM1 server.

You must have TM1 Top running on the TM1 Server (See IBM Cognos TM1 Operations Guide)
