Task Processor Workstation

Definition: Task Processor workstation

A Task Processor workstation is a queue management tool that has the following characteristics:

• It is associated with each Administrator workstation in an Financial Analyzer system

• It enables administrators to monitor and control the transfer of data between user workstations and their associated shared databases

• It enables administrators to manage distribution of structures to subordinate workstations

Methods of running a Task Processor

Although all tasks are actually processed on the server, a Task Processor can be set up:

• As a separate software component on the computer where an Administrator workstation runs

• On a separate computer that is dedicated to task processing

• To run directly on a server as a background task

When the Task Processor workstation is installed as a stand-alone workstation on a dedicated PC or server, tasks can be processed without interruption.
