About this task

To create a task, perform the following steps.
Note:

Procedure


  1. If you are familiar with conman, in the Query text box specify a query based on the conman showcpus syntax. Alternatively, click Edit to select the filter criteria from the list of options that is displayed.


  2. You can filter the task results based on the workstation and domain names, or part of names (using wildcard characters).

    You can filter the task results based on the workstation types and reporting attributes.

  3. In the Columns Definition section, select the information you want to display in the table containing the query results. According to the columns you choose here, the corresponding information is displayed in the task results table. For example, for all the objects resulting from your query, you might want to see their link statuses, domains, and type, or you might want to see their statuses and the number of jobs successful or running on them. You can then drill down into this information displayed in the table and navigate it.
    In the Columns Definition section, not only can you select the columns for this task results, but you can also specify the columns for secondary queries on:
    • jobs, job streams domains, files, and resources. For example, you are creating a task to search for all the workstations of a domain. From the resulting list of workstations, you can navigate to see (secondary query) a list of all the jobs running on each of them.
    • jobs. For example, you are creating a task to search for all the virtual workstations that are also fault-tolerant. From the resulting list of workstations, you can navigate to see (secondary query) a list of all the jobs running on each of them.

Results

After specifying all the required criteria, you can save your task or immediately run it to create a list of workstations that satisfies your filtering settings. For details, see Monitoring your items in the plan.
