Register Task page

Fields

The register task page has the following fields. Required fields are indicated with an asterisk.

Task classname *: Name of the Java™ class that is called by Services Framework. It is the actual task that runs. When a task is configured to run, the Services Framework instantiates the class name, passes in the configuration and runtime parameters, and asks the task to run. It has a maximum length of 128 characters. When a class name is entered, click Verify to ensure that the value is valid and the runtime can access the task. If the task is verified, configuration parameters are displayed. This is a required field.
Task name *: Name given to a registered task. It must be unique in the system. It has a maximum length of 60 characters.
Description: A detailed description that identifies the purpose of the task. It has a maximum length of 512 characters.
Can run manually: Identifies whether the task supports the function of being run manually by the Services Framework user interface. The field is read only. If this value is no, the run button on the task configuration page is disabled.
Note: This value does not prevent users from restarting or resuming the already processed tasks that are shown on the task activity page.
Can be scheduled: Identifies whether the task supports being run by the Services Framework scheduler. The field is read only. If this value is no, all of the task configurations that are associated with this task are unavailable for scheduling.
Can run concurrently: Identifies whether the task supports being run concurrently in Services Framework. It is a read only field. If set to yes, tasks with the same class name can run concurrently. If set to no, the tasks cannot run concurrently.
Configuration parameters: After a task is verified, its configuration parameters are shown in this section. The parameters are for reference only during the registration process. The configuration parameters are a read only view of what configurations are necessary for the task to run. Enter the configuration values during the configuration process. Some parameter values, such as passwords, may be hidden. They are shown as a series of asterisks (***).
