Checking which background tasks are running

When the Background Queue form is used to create a job, it creates an Active Background Tasks record with status of WAITING, plus the appropriate task name and parameters.

To check which background tasks are running:

  1. Open the Active Background Tasks form.
  2. Be aware that:
    • Tasks whose status is READY will process right away and cannot be deleted from the queue from within SyteLine.
    • Tasks whose status is RUNNING are currently processing and cannot be deleted from the queue from within SyteLine.
    • Tasks with a WAITING status remain in the queue until their scheduling requirements are met (as set in the Background Queue form). You can delete a WAITING task from the queue.
    Note: Although you cannot stop a background task with a status of READY or RUNNING from within SyteLine, you can use the Windows Task Manager to do so if you need to stop a long-running process.
