How to view running tasks inthe OPC

When a task is created or ran in the OPC, a job is created for it within the instance's database. The jobs run sequentially and queued jobs will not run whilst another job is currently running.

GUI

You can view the running tasks within the OPC GUI by clicking on the tasks icon in the top right of the OPC GUI.

Clicking on the down arrow will show more details for the tasks that are running.

Clicking on the running or queued task in the list will take you to the task page where you can view the status, review the progress and download the logs for the specific task that was selected

CLI

You can also view the currently running tasks on the command line with:

opc jobs in-progress list
 copy

This will output a table giving you the id, affected instance (if applicable), the command that was run and the time the task was started

How to manage running tasks in the OPC

Currently you cannot cancel running tasks in the GUI, this can only be done on the command line.

CLI

To cancel a running task you first need to get the associated id for it.

opc jobs in-progress list
 copy

The id that we need to cancel the job is the 'Id' field, located in the first column.

opc jobs in-progress remove --id 
 copy

For the previous example, to cancel the running job we would use:

This will prompt you to confirm that you want to cancel the job, and after confirming you wish to remove the job you can run the list command again to confirm that it has been stopped.
