Use this page to view the status of a task. A task is a long running request that you have asked the DataPower appliance manager to process. You can remove a task from the list of pending tasks. However, removing a task from that list does not prevent that task from running.
This page lists the long running tasks that need to be completed for an appliance. If you notice that a error has occurred during the processing of a task, you can find additional information about that error in the deployment manager log. This additional information might help you to diagnose the problem.
There are additional tasks that the appliance manager automatically runs that are used to maintain the state of the managed sets. These tasks are not included in the list of long running tasks. However, if an error occurs while one of these tasks are running, the error is also recorded in the deployment manager log.

To remove a task, select the task identifier (ID) in the list of tasks, and click .
Tasks are automatically deleted after 24 hours to save memory.
Avoid trouble: Removing a task does not stop
the task from being completed, nor does it delete the task. Even though
you are no longer able to view the task, the appliance manager still
executes the task when it gets to that task in the queue of tasks
to execute. The only way to interrupt a running task, or prevent the
appliance manager from running a task, is to shutdown the appliance
manager. Shutting down the appliance manager terminates all running
and queued tasks.gotcha
