InfoFlex Modules

Task Server

The Task Server allows some actions that would normally have been processed on the client's pc to be processed on a server thus improving the end user’s PC performance. It also allows tasks to be scheduled to occur at regular intervals or when required, without user intervention.

Module Features

Task Manager
The Task Manager application creates and manages task server definitions. A task server definition defines one or more tasks that must be handled by the task server. Multiple task server definitions can be created for a database, with each definition handling a different set of tasks.
Task Server
The Task Server is the application that processes the tasks. It polls the InfoFlex database with a preset frequency looking for new entries in the task queue and then carries out the tasks found.
Task Monitor
The Task Monitor application allows users to check the current status of the task server and pause and restart it if required.
Types of task
Scheduled, "Run Once" and Ad hoc tasks can be handled by the Task Server.
