Table 11-2 Description of target status area
Description
Column heading
Name of the target
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.
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.
Non-terminal target
status
Complete: All operations can have the status Complete.
Failed: At least one operation has the status Failed.
Terminal target status
Occurs when you select the Stop button for a target or task.
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.
Cancelled
This is the time at which the execution of the task for this target began.
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.
Start time
This is the time at which the execution of the task for this target
completed, regardless of whether the outcome was successful.
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.
End time
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.

11.5.1.1 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 currently selected target; all other targets are unaffected.
