Tasks

Tasks are managed through sessions (see Sessions), and are placed in a sequence to determine the order in which they should be performed.

Tasks can be added, deleted, and re-ordered. All required parameters can be browsed and updated. Multi-level undo/redo can be used to correct mistakes.

Note: Tasks execute asynchronously, so that you can monitor progress and abort sessions. They continue processing even if you log out or shut down the client computer.

The following types of task can be included in a session:

Task Description
Open Data

Enables access to data from a data source.

A session can open data from a number of data sources then check rules based on relationships between features stored in different locations.

Check Rules

Checks a defined set of rules on the data and reports non-conformances.

Pause

Requests 1Validate to suspend execution, to allow results to be examined before processing the next task. 

When a session completes, all intermediate data is discarded. A Pause Task can be added at the end to retain data for further processing.
