Using the Task Queue

Function of Task queue

When tasks are submitted and processed by the Task Processor, they appear in the Task queue.

Information you can obtain from the Task queue

For each task, the Task queue displays the following information:

• The user who initiated the task

• The task type (such as "Distribution")

• Whether the task is pending or has been processed

• When the task was submitted for processing

• If pending, when the task is scheduled to be processed

• If pending, the task's position (priority) in the queue

• If processed, the elapsed time.

• If processed, when processing was completed

Viewing tasks in the Task queue

If you are an administrator, you can view information about tasks in the Task queue that you manage. You can view the history of any task and you can view the details of Submit Data tasks.

Rescheduling tasks in the Task queue

As part of managing the task queue, you can change the scheduled start time of pending tasks. This is useful if, for example, you want to schedule a particularly large task to be processed after normal working hours. Note that you cannot reschedule Distribute Structure tasks.

Deleting tasks from the Task queue

Administrators can delete tasks from the Task queue.
