To access this page, select the Administration tab and click Tasks in the left-nav bar.
The Tasks page shows you the list of tasks that the proNX Optical Director is running. The displayed tasks relate to interactions between the proNX Optical Director and the devices under management. It can consist of tasks that are internally generated to control the devices and tasks that you create as part of device and network management.
You can view the list of proNX Optical Director tasks and their status. You can also view additional details for a specific task or view any subtasks if applicable.
Table 58 explains the fields in the Tasks page.
Table 58: Fields in the Tasks Page
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Type | The type of task or subtask:
|
Create Time | The start time of the task or subtask. |
End Time | The end time of the task or subtask. If the task is not yet complete, this field is blank. |
Owner | The entity that launched the task or subtask. Tasks launched by the system are labelled as system. Tasks launched by a user are labelled by username. Users with the User role can only see tasks that they launch themselves. Users with the Administrator role can see all tasks including system tasks and tasks launched by other users. |
Status | The status of the task or subtask:
Note: The proNX Optical Director has no control over how long a device takes to complete a task. In some situations, the proNX Optical Director might time out and mark a task as failed. Since the proNX Optical Director does not cancel a task when it times out, the device can continue to complete the task successfully. If the task details of a failed task indicate the failure is due to a timeout, be sure to double check to determine whether the task has indeed failed or not. |
Details | An explanation of the task or subtask. |
