  3. See the Details Reference for a description of information displayed on the Details page.

  4. Alternatively, click Activity Log to see when the Task is created or modified.

    Since the Pipelines executed by Tasks are run in an unattended mode, you can receive notifications of Task activity by specifying a comma-separated list of email addresses in the Create Task dialog.

    If you are on the Tasks page under a project, the list displays the type of Task in the Run Policy column. This column is not available on the project-level page.

Info

Duplicate Task Runs

If a Task fails to start with the same reason for multiple times in a row, then subsequent skips are not displayed on the Task details page.

Details Reference

The Details page provides information about your Tasks. 

Header

The Task header is composed of the name of the Task and its status, which includes the following Task status types:

  • Enabled: Indicates that the Task is set to Enabled in Manager and, therefore executable.

  • Disabled: Indicates that the Task is set to Disabled in Manager and cannot be executed in its current status.

Task Information

  • Project: The name of the Project where the Task resides.

  • Snaplex Type: The type of Snaplex:

    • Groundplex: A Triggered Task that runs on a Groundplex.

    • Cloudplex: A Triggered Task that runs on a Cloudplex.

  • Run Policy: The type of run policy:

    • Ultra

    • Scheduled (including date and recurrence details).

    • Triggered

  • Runs: The number of times that the Task has been invoked.

  • Owner: The creator of the Task.

  • Next scheduled run time: The next time the Pipeline is scheduled to run (for Scheduled Tasks only).

  • Notes: Notes entered by the creator of the Task.

URL Information

  • Cloud URL: This URL is displayed for Triggered Tasks only. Click (blue star) to copy it.

  • HTTP Header: The authorization token displays for Triggered and Ultra Tasks only.

  • HTTP Endpoint #0: The Ultra Task URL for the load balancer (if deployed) to the Cloud URL. Click (blue star) to copy it.

  • Debug Traces: This option appears if selected in the Create/Edit Task dialog. Click Open Trace Directory to open debugging messages.

  • Snaplex URL: This option executes the Triggered Task on the Snaplex that receives the request regardless of what Snaplex is configured on the task. The URL is required for high availability (HA). Click (blue star) to copy it.

  • Alternate URL: The URL for the Groundplex or a Cloudplex with a Load Balancer. Click (blue star) to copy it. When an Alternate URL is triggered, the Task is executed on the Snaplex to match the configuration. If there is no match, the request fails. Learn more at https://docs.snaplogic.com/security/pipeline-access.html

  • Callback URL (Policy Configuration): The URL the OAuth application redirects to after successful authentication. Click (blue star) to copy it. A callback URL is used for Generic OAuth2 Authorization code flow policies that use a callback URL as part of the OAuth flow.

  • Execution status

    • Task Status. The run status of the Pipeline. For example, new tasks that do not start by design are represented accurately by the Not Started status.

    • Create Time. When the Task was created.

    • Details. Click the Details link to see the specific details for that run, including username, Snaplex, Runtime ID (RUUID), and run status. Clicking the Pipeline RUUID opens that Pipeline in Designer.
