Task Operation page

The task operation page displays the tasks that are available to be run. A task must be configured before it is available for processing. When a task is configured, active tasks are available to be started by the Services Framework engine.

Columns

The columns that are available on this page are shown in the following table.
Table 1. Task Operation columns
Column name Description
Task Name The name of the task that is associated with this configuration. The name of a task is assigned when the task is registered.
Description A detailed description of the configuration.
Active Indicates whether the task is currently active. Only active tasks can be started by Services Framework.
End of Day Indicates whether the task participates in the Transaction Server end of day processing.
Cleanup Indicates whether the task cleans up any outstanding resources during the Transaction Server purge process.
Status The status field indicates whether a deployed task is synchronized with what is currently stored in the configuration repository. A task that is synchronized is represented by using the synchronized icon. A task may lose its synchronization with the repository if a new task was deployed in the Services Framework runtime during an update or migration to a newer release. In this case, the status of the task is represented by the out of sync icon. A task can be out of sync due to the following reasons:
  • The task that is currently configured in the Services Framework repository contains configuration parameters that do not match the configuration parameters that are defined by the installed task. This can occur when a newer version of the task was installed in the Services Framework runtime and the configuration parameter definitions were changed by the new version.
  • The deployed task contains a different number of configuration parameters than what is currently configured. This can occur when a newer version of the task was installed in the Services Framework runtime and the new version has a different number of parameters than the previously configured task.
If a task is out of sync, perform the following steps:
  1. Edit the configuration that is out of sync.
  2. Examine the configuration parameters and their values. Update or add any values that have changed from the previous configuration.
  3. Apply the updates to resynchronize the configuration data with the task.
