Task Registry page

The task registry page displays the tasks that are registered. Task registration is the first step to prepare a task for processing. It must be registered in Services Framework before it can be configured and made active. A task can only be registered once. When registering tasks, provide a unique, descriptive name for a task as well as a longer description that describes the function of the task.

Registration verifies that the task was properly installed. It also ensures that the task can properly communicate with the Services Framework APIs.

Columns

The columns that are available on this page are shown in the following table.
