Viewing the Task Log

The task log resides on the server, and is similar to the event log; but records information about task objects. You can display a snapshot of the task log information on the client.

After connecting to the host (server), you display the task log of the server by selecting the "TaskLog" node under "Logs" in the tree view. The server can have single or multiple task log files, depending upon the policy. If the server has more than one task log file, then a drop down box is displayed from which you select the required log file.

The client gets the latest set of tasks from the log file of the server and displays the information in the Details View. Up to 25 tasks can be displayed in a set.

Previous and Next Task Sets

The Previous and Next set of tasks buttons are situated below the Details View.

You can display the next set of tasks by clicking the "Next set of Tasks" button. The current set of tasks is then replaced with the next set of tasks. If there are no more tasks in the task log, the current set continues to be shown.

You can display the previous set of tasks by clicking the "Previous set of Tasks" button. The current set of tasks is then replaced with the previous set of tasks. When the first set is reached, and there are no more old tasks, the "Previous set of Tasks" button is disabled.
