Monitoring the status of long-running activities

Managing the display of information

The Activity Status page provides various mechanisms for managing the information it displays.

Filtering

Using filters, you can choose the types of operations displayed on the Activity Status page. The following filtering options are possible:

• Type—Click the menu at the top of the Type column. Then select the types of operations you want to display. If you do not select any types, all operation types are displayed.

• Name—Enter a text string in the text box at the top of the Name column. Operations with names that include the string are displayed.

Sorting

All columns can be sorted by clicking the sort icon at the top of the column.

Name

By clicking on the name of an operation, you can display the relevant page for that type of operation and automatically filter for the operation you have selected.

More information

When you click a link in the More Information column, a pop-up window displays the full text of the message generated for that operation, as shown in the following example:

Refreshing information
