Is it possible to see what tasks are currently running on servers with BPA Agents installed on them? Execution reports only seem to display items that have completed (successfully or otherwise) and when you hover over the tray icon, it only displays "Running - 1 task(s). 0 Queued." On our BPA server, the Execution Status window is empty - should this contain a log of tasks that have been run / are currently running?

Hi Matthew,

I would suggest that you "Enable the task interruption hokey" option within the SMC. This will allow you to "Show Running Tasks" when you right click the A icon.

In order to accomplish this you will need to complete the following;
1. Open the SMC
2. Select Options
3. Select Default Properties
4. Select Indicators
5. Add a check for "Enable the Task Interruption hotkey"
6. Press Apply

Note: Make sure to close the "Show Running Tasks" window. When this window is open task triggering is disabled.

Let us know if that works for you.

Thank you for the information Ricardo.

Is there any risk (after enabling this option), that someone could accidentally abort or "interrupt" a running task by right clicking the A icon?

Hi Matthew,

If you are logged in via RDP and the window is left open when you close out the RDP session Task Triggering could remain disabled. It is recommended that if you open the window, make sure to close it.

Enabling this option will allow you to stop tasks from running as well.
