Task View

The Task view shows the scheduled robots, as well as pre- and post-processing tasks that have been started by the Management Console's Scheduler. The Task view gives an overview of the current activity across all servers and robots; if you want to know about the outcome of previous robot runs, you should inspect the Logs.

Because of update delays, short-running robots may never (or almost never) appear on this tab.

The following information is displayed for all currently running robots.

Column

Description

Name

The name of the task that is running.

Schedule

The name of the schedule that the task runs within.

Project Name

The name of the project that the task belongs to.

Status

The task may be in one of the following states:

Queued

The task is queued and waiting for execution. A task may be queued for the following reasons:

No Servers

There are currently no servers in the cluster, or all servers are offline. The task will start to execute when a server is added, or an offline server comes online.

No Capacity

All servers are executing at maximum capacity. The task will start to execute when other tasks finish and capacity becomes available, or if additional server are added to the cluster.

Waiting for other task

The task may be waiting for another task to finish. Post-processing may not be run until all robots have finished, and robots may not be run before pre-processing has finished. Also, if robots on a schedule are configured for sequential execution, robots will remain queued until the previous robot completes.

Running

The task is currently executing.

Last status change

The time of the last status change.

Stop

Click to stop the task even though it has not finished running.

Input

This column shows a summary of inputs for the running robot.

Note When you point to a column, a pop-up text shows all the available information whereas the text in the actual column is usually shortened due to lack of space.
