The Run menu has options to start a transformation and to stop a running transformation process.

Menu Name |
Explanation |
| Run | Starts a transformation by executing the
compiled program files for the current configuration (source and target data
stores). Ctrl R is the keyboard short cut for this option. |
| Setup | Generates and writes the exec.properties file, but does not execute the transform. See Using Transformation Programs as Command Line Utilities. |
| Cancel | Stops the current transformation process. This
option is only available whilst a transformation run is in progress. TM issues a command to kill the process (thread) which is running the transformation program. When the process stops, the operating system should close any open files and release any other resources being used by the process. TM adds a ‘cancelled by user’ message to the output pane (and to the current log file, if file logging is enabled). |
