Viewing background task history information

Use the Background Task History form to display information about background tasks, whether they have successfully completed or not.
Note: Infor Framework TaskMan is a Windows service which monitors the application database in order to execute background tasks.

Return codes generated by background tasks can include this information:

  • Reports: Background tasks of the RPT type are reports. The RunReport.exe application returns exit codes to TaskMan that display on this form. If the return code indicates an error, you can also consult the error log for additional information.
  • 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: Developers can optionally supply the exit status for an IDO method within the coding of the method. Generally, this exit status can be returned by TaskMan and displayed on this form.
