Use this form to display information about background tasks that have been run, and whether they have completed successfully.
Return codes generated by background tasks are displayed here.
These types of tasks can be displayed:
- 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 for reports of any of the currently supported report types . Note: If you set up the Report Server in the application settings of the Configuration Manager, the server name, logical folder name, and file server path where the report output is written, is displayed on this form. This information can be used to retrieve the file even if the configuration changes at a later time.
