Task Results Page
The Task Results page contains a list of all of the tasks that have run or are currently running.
Use the search options to limit the number of tasks displayed in the table. Entering a letter, or partial name, in the Search field displays any tasks with names containing that letter pattern. Click Advanced Search to filter by start date, end date, or results.

Click on a task name in the Tasks Results table to display the Task Results page. Each task type returns information specific to the options that were selected. Tasks that executed with partitioning enabled also display the partitioned results, broken down by the host name of the partitions on which they ran.
Several statistics related to task run length are maintained to help identify tasks that are running longer or shorter than expected. Each time a task is run, we save the start time. When the task is complete we calculate the run time in seconds.
These statistics are not set until the task complete. Until then they are zero. The run time change is a positive or negative integer representing the percent change in run length for this task relative to the average at the time was started. A value of 25 means the task ran 25% longer than average, and a value of -10 means the task was 10% faster.
See Task Types for details on the information that might be on the Task Results page.
To terminate a currently running task, a task flagged as pending in the Date Complete column, right-click on the task and select Terminate from the drop-down menu. You are asked to confirm the termination.
To delete task results, right-click on a result and select Delete. Tasks that require a sign off can only be deleted by a user with the Signoff Administrator capability.
If a task was scheduled to run but no results were returned, go to the Scheduled Task tab to ensure that errors did not occur during the task execution.
