Scheduling background tasks (developer or administrator)

  1. Use the Background Task Definitions form to create the background task.
    If you already have a background task created that you want to schedule, skip this step.

    For the procedure to create a background task, see Creating a background task definition.

  2. Optionally, to schedule the task to run in the background, use the options on the Background Queue form to do the scheduling.
    You can schedule the task to run only once or on a recurring daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
    Note: For scheduled background tasks to run, you must have the Infor Framework Event Service configured and running.
  3. Use the Background Task History form to check and see if the task is running or waiting.

    When TaskMan starts a task, it updates the Started field in the Status Information group box. If the Completed field is blank, the task is still running.

    Note: You can also use the Active Background Tasks form to see which tasks are currently running.
  4. Optionally, view details about the completed task.
    After TaskMan has completed the task, even if it fails, you can view details about its execution on the Background Task History form, which displays this information:
    • Task Information
    • Status Information
    • Other details about the task
    • Messages triggered by the task
