Viewing Task History

VEA logs all task requests. You can view the task history (including tasks in progress)

using the Task History window, or the Command Log ﬁle.

The Task History window displays a history of tasks performed in the current session

(and any other sessions running on the machine). Each task is listed with properties such

as the task name, the task status, and the start/ﬁnish times.

To display the Task History window, click on Tasks at the bottom of the main window.

For a selected task, you can use the popup menu options: Abort Task to cancel the task;

Pause Task to temporarily stop a task, Resume Task to continue the task; and Throttle

Task to throttle a task.

Task Throttling

Task Throttling causes an operation to pause for the allowed amount of time whenever a

disk I/O is performed, allowing the CPU to perform other tasks.
