Automated Task Execution

You can view the status of the automated tasks on the Schedule Tasks page.

To view the status of the tasks:

1. On the Home page, click Tasks and then click Scheduled Tasks. For more information, see Working with the Task Dialog Box .
2. Click the Refresh icon to update the task details within the task list.

For Process Automation tasks, Task Manager executes the business process when the start time is met. When the business process completes, the task is marked complete.

During the execution of this process, Task Manager submits the job to the target application which returns a Job ID as most of the tasks execute in the background. Task Manager polls the target application to check the status of the job at regular intervals. Initially, the polling interval is less than a second and gradually it increases to a maximum polling interval of 15 mins. The polling interval is proportional to the time taken by the task to complete as described in the following table. The polling interval reduces the overhead related to frequent querying for job completion status in both Task Manager and the underlying application which ensures optimal system performance.

Process Automation Execution Time	Additional Time to Update Task Completion Status
1 minute	Maximum 1 second
10 minutes	Maximum 15 seconds
1 hour	Maximum 2 minutes
5 hours	Maximum 9 minutes
10 hours	Maximum 15 minutes

Note:

If the task status has not been updated after the job is completed, don’t force close the task immediately. It’s recommended to wait for up to 15 minutes for long running tasks or as per the preceding timings.

For event monitoring tasks, Task Manager executes the event monitor when the start time is met. The task status is updated once Task Manager receives the event notification from the other application.
