Monitor Background Tasks

While background tasks (for example, a publishing job) are running, you can monitor their progress and their effects on server performance. You can also review the history of tasks that have run in the past.

  • A publishing job will appear as one task in the Tasks list but may publish many documents. To view the status of individual documents, view the Publisher queue instead as described in View the Publisher Queue.

  • Changes to documents in the source system (including references) will not appear in the destination system if the documents fail to publish successfully as the result of a failed publishing task.

To view additional details about a task, see Inspect a Background Task.
