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. Note: For on-premise deployments, Task Manager is a Windows service that monitors the application database in order to execute background tasks. See Overview for more information on Task Manager.
- 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.
For on-premise only: If the return code indicates an error, you can also consult the error log for additional information.
