Monitoring system tasks

On each server that is part of a PowerSchool SMS system [>>], the PowerSchool SMS Task Manager operates in the background to manage a variety of computing tasks, scheduling such tasks, and automatically balancing the load on the Application Servers. This ensures that tasks that demand a lot of computing power, such as a large report or scheduling run, do not slow down routine work. The PowerSchool SMS Task Manager operates as a Windows service.

The administrator can view the tasks run by the Task Manager — or currently running — and get information such as the success, time started, time taken to complete, and the server on which it ran. The administrator can also view the tasks scheduled to be run but not yet started.

To view the status of active and scheduled tasks [DA]:
