Task Activity page

The task activity page shows the run request activity for the Services Framework tasks. Paging is available for the page.

Each task activity record contains the status for a run request. The task activity records that have an error status always appear on the page. Use the view details action to display the information about the task failure and to restart the task.

You can configure a Services Framework task to delete its task activity record whenever it completes successfully.

Data filtering

The list of task activity records can be filtered. For more information, see Filtering.

The default filter for the page is on the created column. This filter is required and defaults to getting the records that were created during the 15 minutes right before the page is loaded. This filter is applied when the page is accessed from the navigation menu and also when you view the task activity by using the scheduler page for the tasks.
