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:

Open the Active Background Tasks form.
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.
If on-premises, note that the Windows Task Manager is different from the TaskMan described in this chapter
