Checking which background tasks are running

When the Background Queue form is used to create a job, it creates an Active Background Task record with a WAITING status, including the appropriate task name and parameters. It then creates a SQL Server job using the task name as the job name.

To check which background tasks are running:

Open the Active Background Tasks form.
Verify the task status:
- Tasks whose status is READY will process right away and cannot be deleted from the queue from within your application.
- Tasks whose status is RUNNING are currently processing and cannot be deleted from the queue from within your application.
- 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.

Although you cannot stop a background task with a status of READY or RUNNING from within your application, you can use the Windows Task Manager to do so if you need to stop a long-running process.

Note: The Windows Task Manager is different from the Infor Framework Taskman Service.
