Displaying Task State

The Tasks command displays information about the tasks that are queued for execution or are currently being executed by Data Vault Agent processes:

Tasks

The following table describes information that is displayed for each task:

Information	Description
Task	The internal task ID.
Query	The query ID for the task. This query ID can be used in the Cancel command to terminate the query.
File	The unique file ID for the file currently being acted upon by the task, if applicable. This file ID can be specified with the Files command to view information about the file.
Command	The command line used to execute each Data Vault Agent task. Note that all passwords are concealed.
State	The state of the task. It is either Wait (queued for execution) or the host name and AID of the Data Vault Agent process executing the task.
Waiting Time	The total amount of time the task has been queued for execution, if it is not running.
Running Time	The total amount of time that the task has been running, if it is not queued for execution.
Fetched	The total number of rows fetched by a query so far.
Pref Hosts	The preferred host for task execution. This means that Agent processes on this machine will be preferred over other Agent processes for executing the task. The task will be executed by an Agent process on another machine only if all the Agents on the preferred host are busy. Host preference is set with the SetPref command.
