 Phase - For Active tasks, indicates the number of completed phases and the total number
of phases in the current step, using the format
<#completed_phase>/<#total_phases>. See individual task type descriptions for an
indication of the number of phases for all tasks of that type.
 Step - For Active tasks, indicates the number of completed steps and the total number of
steps in the current task, using the format
<#completed_step>/<#total_steps>. For most task types, the total steps is equal to
the number of regions in the operation. See individual task type descriptions for step
definitions.
 Start Time - Indicates the time at which the task was started.
 Finish Time - For Done, Cancelled, and Failed tasks, indicates the time at which the
task stopped due to completion, cancellation, or failure.
To obtain a task ID (for example, because the task was initiated via the InForm Management
Console), or to see a list of all tasks that have been active within the last 24 hours, you can use
the
showtask command without specifying a task ID, as shown in the following example:
All tasks are displayed by their task IDs, including ongoing and completed tasks. The system
stores information for up to 1000 tasks.
