Viewing a list of tasks
The Task List displays the tasks related to operations performed on copy pairs that are registered when
the Pair Configuration Wizard or the Change Pair Status Wizard completes an operation, or when
a copy pair associated with a remote path is deleted. The maximum number of tasks is 1,000. In
this list, you can check information such as the task type (type of copy pair operation), execution
status, and owner.
To view a list of tasks, from the Explorer menu, choose Tasks and then Tasks. A list of tasks is displayed
in the Tasks subwindow.

Deleting tasks
You can delete tasks related to operations on copy pairs that were registered when the Pair
Configuration Wizard or the Change Pair Status Wizard completed an operation, or when a copy
pair associated with a remote path was deleted. You can only delete tasks that have the Cancel,
Failure, Warning or Success status. When a task is deleted the task information is deleted from the
repository. Resources reserved by a task are released when all the related workflows are deleted.
Once a task has completed and the retention period has expired, it is automatically deleted from the
Task List. Users with the Admin (Replication Manager management) permission can manage the
retention period. For details on how to check the retention period of a task, see “Viewing the data
retention period” on page 139.
