1.6.7 Task statuses and status transitions

The following table lists the task statuses used in a JP1/AO system, and shows the corresponding icon.

Table 1‒7: Task statuses
No.	Category	Task status	Description
1	Waiting	Waiting	This status applies to: Tasks that are generated but have not started executing Recurring tasks between the start of the previous task and their own execution
2	Waiting	Suspended	This status applies to recurring tasks that have been suspended.
3	Running	In Progress	This status indicates that the automated process corresponding to the task is running.
4		Waiting for Input	This status applies to tasks whose corresponding automated process requires input from a user.
5		In Progress (with Error)	This status indicates that an error has been detected in the automated processing corresponding to the task.
6		In Progress (Terminating)	This status indicates that a user has stopped or forcibly stopped the task, and JP1/AO is in the process of stopping the corresponding automated processing.
7		Long Running	A status entered when a certain length of time has elapsed since the step started.
8		Interrupted	A status indicating that a running debug task has been interrupted by the step execution function. This status only appears in the Service Builder Debug window.
9	Stopped	Completed	Indicates that the corresponding automated process has finished normally.
10		Failed	Indicates that the corresponding automated process did not finish normally. A task failure occurs when: A task times out while waiting for user input The automated process corresponding to a task stops because an error occurred JP1/AO has stopped a task in response to a user request to stop the task^# JP1/AO has stopped a task in response to a user request to forcibly stop the task
11		Canceled	A status indicating that a user has canceled the task schedule, preventing a scheduled or recurring task from being executed.

#: If a user stops a task while the final plug-in in the task is being executed, the task enters Completed status.

The figure below shows the transitions that take place between task statuses. The numbers in the figure correspond to the numbers in the Task statuses table.
