The Task Instance Results section displays the following information:

types, see “Task status types”.

• ID. This field displays the task job ID number.

• Task Name. This field displays the name of the task that was executed.

• Owner. This field displays the user name that owns the task.

• Command. This field displays the command used to run the task.

• Target. This field displays the name of the target collection or systems that the task executed on.

If you run a custom command tool or a multiple-system aware (MSA) tool, this field displays the

Central Management Server (CMS) system name. With custom command and MSA tools, the

executables reside on the CMS and are run from the CMS to the remote system. Therefore, the

Target for these types of commands are always shown as the CMS.

The remaining tool types (single-system aware (SSA), Automation, and so on) have the actual

targets the tool ran on listed in the Target field. This value could be a single system, multiple systems

(comma-separated), or the name of the collection selected for the task. If the Target is a collection

or multiple systems, the Target value becomes a hyperlink. Click the hyperlink to display the contents

of the collection or the complete list of systems if the Target field displays a partial comma-separated

list of the target systems.

• Executed As. This field displays the user context where the tools were executed.

• Start time. This field displays the time the task started.

• End time. This field displays the time the task ended.

• Duration. This field displays the time that the task took to run.

The list of task instances is based on user privileges and access levels. Users with

administrative rights

can

view all task instances known to the system.
