Background Task History
Use this form to display information about background tasks that have been run, are scheduled to run, or are currently running.
Return codes generated by background tasks are displayed here.
These types of tasks can be displayed:
- Reports (): Background tasks of the type
are for reports of any of the currently
supported report types. Note: If the Report Server has been set up in the Application settings of the Configuration Manager, the server name, logical folder name, and file server path where the report output is written, display on this form. This information can be used to retrieve the file even if the configuration changes at a later time.
- 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.
- IDO methods (): IDO methods can be called by a background task, usually with parameters. The method code then returns a status of success or failure and, optionally, a message that can be displayed on this form. In this sense, the IDO method can be used in a way similar to the way stored procedure background tasks are used.
Information about tasks that have run, are scheduled to run, or are running include these:
- Task number and description
- User who submitted the task
- Who or what initiated the task
- Return and other status information
- Any error or other messages triggered by the task
