View Task Results, Task Instance Results, and Target Details to see a log of tasks performed on a system and the associated results. You can also print reports of task instances.

Viewing Task Results

The task results are displayed on the Task Results page. Information, such as the task start and stop time, the tool used by the task, and the command the task executes, are displayed.

  1. Select Tasks & LogsView Task Results.

  2. To stop or delete a task instance, select a task instance from the View Task Results page.

  3. Click [Stop] or [Delete].

The Task Results page displays a list of the task instances created by all tasks.

Viewing Task Instance Results

From the View Task Results page, select a task instance by selecting a row from the Task Instances list.

The Task Instance section displays the following information:

  • Status. This field displays the status of the task.

  • ID. This field displays the task job ID number.

  • Task Name. This field displays the name of the task that was executed.

  • Tool. This field displays the name of the tool that was used.

  • Owner. This field displays the user name that currently owns the task.

  • Command. This field displays the command used to run the task.

  • Summary Status. This field displays the summary status and indicates the status of the task for some tasks only. Refer to Managing with Tasks - Task Status Types for more information.

  • Target. This field displays the name of the target collection or individual systems against which the task executed. If you run a custom command or an multiple-system aware (MSA) tool, this field displays the central management server (CMS) system name. With MSA commands, the command resides on the CMS and is actually run from the CMS against a remote system or list of systems. Therefore, the target for this type of command always shows as the CMS.

  • Executed As. This field displays the user context the tools was executed under.

  • Start Time. This field displays the time when the task was started.

  • End Time. This field displays the time when the task was completed or cancelled.

  • Duration. This field displays the amount of time it took to run the task.

The list of task instances is based on user privileges and access levels. Users with full-configuration-rights can view all task instances known to the system.

Viewing Target Details

This section is displayed for single-system aware (SSA) tools only.

From the Task Instance Results section, select a target system from the table below the Summary Status.

The Target Details section displays the following information:

  • Status. This field displays the status of the target.

  • Exit Code. This field represents the success or failure of an executable program. Typically, if the return value is zero or positive, the executable ran successfully. If a negative value is returned, the executable failed.

  • Target Name. This field displays the name of the target.

  • The Stdout Tab. This tab displays the output text information.

  • The Stderr Tab. This tab displays information if the executable experienced an error.

  • Files Copied Tab. This tab displays what files are in the process of being copied or have been copied to the target system. This tab is not present for tools that do not perform any file copies to their target systems.

Viewing a Printable Report

Reports can be printed for the currently selected target system or for all target systems associated with the task instance.

To print a report:

  1. Click [View Printable Report].

    An Options Message box appears, asking if you want to generate a report containing only the currently selected target system or all systems associated with the task instance. This option is only present if there is more than one target for the task instance.

  2. Select which report to print.

  3. Click [Print] to print the report, or close the window to return to the View Task Results page.
