You can use the QUERY ACTLOG command to view the status of the import operation. You can also view this information from the server console.
This command generates a background process that can be cancelled with the CANCEL PROCESS command. If an IMPORT ADMIN background process is cancelled, some of the data is already imported. To display information on background processes, use the QUERY PROCESS command.
