Task property | Description |
|---|---|
Name | A unique name for the task. Tip: Since you can configure multiple system tasks using the same system task type, it's important to assign a unique and descriptive name to each task. Using clear or purpose-based naming helps improve task identification, monitoring, and troubleshooting, especially in large-scale environments where multiple tasks are in use. |
Description | A description of the task. |
| Maximum execution time before warning | Set the maximum execution time before warning in the specified format (minutes, hours, and days). |
Frequency | The type of frequency to schedule task execution (Predefined or Custom).
|
Task group (For ETL and service ETL tasks only) | The task group to which the task is assigned. You can assign tasks to groups and restrict user access according to the task group for security reasons. |
