Table 5 Description of target status area

Description

Column heading

Name of the target

managed system

on which the task was run.

Target Name

The status of a target is computed from the status of its operations.

Status

Pending: All operations can have the Pending status.

Non-terminal target
status

Running: At least one operation has the status Running.

A percent complete is also displayed. The percent complete for a target
is the number of operations with the status Complete divided by the
total number of operations for the task. The percent complete for a target
does not consider in the calculation the percent complete of individual
operations.

Complete: All operations can have the status Complete.

Terminal target status

Failed: At least one operation has the status Failed.

Occurs when you select the Stop button for a target or task.

Cancelled

This is considered a non-terminal state if an operation for the target has
the status of Cancelling. In this case, the execution of the task for the
target is in the process of being cancelled.

A target with the non-terminal Cancelled status might end in the terminal
status Complete, Failed or Cancelled. A target status that goes to
Complete

or Failed means that the cancel operation could not be

processed before the task completed for that target.

Cancelled

becomes a terminal state when an operation changes status

from Cancelling to Cancelled. Any operations that follow the
Cancelled

operation have their status changed from Pending to Not

Executed

. At this point, the end time for the target is displayed.

This is the time at which the execution of the task for this target began.

Start time

This time might not be the same as the time when you select Run Now,
and it might not be the scheduled time. Start time for the target is different
from the task submit time, if another Insight Control for Linux task is
already running for this target or the total number of Insight Control for
Linux tasks exceeds the configured limits.

If the target has a status of Pending, the value of the Start Time column
for that row is blank.

This is the time at which the execution of the task for this target completed,
regardless of whether the outcome was successful.

End time

This time is the same as the end time for the last operation for the target.

If the target has a status of Pending or Running, the value of the End
Time column for that row is blank.

If this target has a status of Cancelled, but it has an operation that is
in the Cancelling state, the value of this column for that row is blank.

These columns are visible in the Target Status Table on the standard HP
SIM Task Instance Results screen, but they are not relevant to Insight
Control for Linux tasks.

4.5.1.1 Stop button in the target status area

The Stop button is enabled only when the selected target is in a non-terminal state. Selecting this
button opens a confirmation window. If you select OK, an attempt is made to stop the task execution
on the selected target; all other targets are unaffected.
