Status Symbols of Tasks

The Automic Web Interface provides information on the status of your tasks in various ways. On the Process Monitoring toolbar, on the list of Tasks, in the detailed views of Schedules, Workflows, etc.

There are five major status groups:

ABEND Executed objects that completed with an abnormal status
BLOCKED Executed but incomplete objects
WAITING Objects that are posted but not yet executing
ACTIVE Currently executing
OK Executed objects and completed with a normal status

The actions that you can take on a task depend on the type of task and on its status. Take a look at Available Functions Depending on the Task Status for a detailed description.

Process Monitoring Status Bar

The status bar indicates how many tasks are on each of the available main status. It takes into account the overall tasks that are currently displayed on the list, that is, it takes into account the filter that is currently being used (if any).

Usually, it is displayed between the task header bar and the toolbar:

However, if you minimize the size of your window, it collapses to simple icons and shifts to the header bar:

List of Tasks and Detailed Task Views

This table lists all the icons used in the Automic Web Interface to indicate the status of a task. You will find them in various places in the Process Monitoring perspective, such as in the task boxes in a workflow (Workflow Monitor) in the Status column on the Tasks list, etc.
