# PauseBuildClassifier

Pauses the training of a classifier.

Classifiers can take a significant amount of time to train. After you have started training, by running the action BuildClassifier, you might want to pause training. This action pauses the training of the classifier without losing any of the progress that has been made so far. (If you use the QueueInfo action to stop training, all progress is discarded).

You cannot use a classifier for analysis until training is complete. To resume training a classifier that is in the paused state, run the action BuildClassifier.

Type: asynchronous

Parameter | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
`classifier` | The name of the classifier for which you want to pause training. | Yes

## Example

    /action=PauseBuildClassifier&classifier=MyClassifier

## Response

This action is asynchronous, so Media Server always returns success accompanied by a token. You can use this token with the QueueInfo action to retrieve the status of your request.

## See Also

To view the state of your classifiers, use the action ListClassifiers.
