Viewing background tasks that have run

To display information about background tasks that have been run, whether they have completed successfully or not, use the Background Task History form.

Return codes generated by background tasks include these:

  • Stored procedures: Developers supply the exit status for a stored procedure within the coding of the procedure. Generally, the exit status of the stored procedure functions as its return code, which is returned by TaskMan and displayed on this form.
  • Executable programs: Developers supply the exit status or return code for an executable program within the coding of the program. This return code is returned by TaskMan and displayed on this form.
  • Reports: Background tasks of the type RPT are reports. The RunReport.exe application returns exit codes to TaskMan that are displayed on this form.
