In these situations, a report can ”Run Deferred," which places it in a queue and allows you to perform other tasks or exit WebFOCUS while the report is generating.

Right-click on the report.
From the right-click menu, click Run Deferred.
Enter values for parameters, if required.
Modify the Deferred Report Description, as desired.
Click OK.
