I had always just used “stop”, but in my new shop, “they” say to always pause before you stop.

There is no explanation on the differences between pause and stop in the documentation, at least none that I’ve seen, and I really looked.

It was explained to me that stop will just kill every process that is currently running, and I’ve caused the “User Aborted Map” many a time, but pause will let the current transaction finish, and not process the next one. ]

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks!

-Pause will let the currently running processes run to their completion. -Stop will abort all currently running processes.

IMO, it depends on your shop and processes as to whether you would want to use either. I can see where both methods have their uses.
