Task PlannerInactive

The following information is derived from the plugin description.

The Task Planner application allows to perform recurring tasks based on events, such as time specifications.

A task consists of triggers - the event, jobs and actions - however, not all of these elements are needed. A trigger is an input event, such as a time or file change. Server starts and stops can also be reported by triggers. A job is the actual program of the task, such as creating a backup or rendering a report. Jobs usually return results that can be processed by the task's actions. These can be distributed, for example, by email, by notifications, or by saving them as files. Tasks in Task Planner can be turned into series tasks. Series tasks require a list of input values, e.g. from a JSON file or a database connection, and perform the same task for each record.

There are various other plugins that extend the functionality of the Task Planner application and add additional triggers, jobs and actions.

Changelog Information

  • The file change trigger supports now the integration of other sources, such as the Drive plugin.
  • The Next Task trigger provides the option to pass any placeholders from the current task on to the next task along with a prefix which can be prepended to the placeholder key names.
  • Tasks in the list can now be filtered down by their name - quickly find your tasks this way.
  • When deactivating users who have tasks, a notification will be generated for administrators in the notification group "Task Planner Warning (Admin)".
  • Result actions can be moved forwards and backwards in the result action order with the options "Execute earlier/later". This is helpful for cases in which the order of these actions matters.
  • The e-mail action has an optional setting for the sender.
  • With the Hosting plugin installed, tasks of the Master user account are not visible to other users anymore.
  • When in maintenance mode, any triggered tasks are paused, queued, and run once the maintenance mode is deactivated.
  • With the Hosting plugin installed, tasks of the Master user account are not visible to other users anymore.
  • The task information contains an additional field status if it is retrieved via the WebAPI.

Fixed Bugs

  • When deactivating users who have tasks, the generated notification for administrators could not be removed.

Security Fixes

  • Additional verification of user permissions before accessing target location during execution of Task Planner's action "Save File"
  • The file system action has been converted into a completely new "Save file" action, which now supports the integration of other sources, such as the Drive plugin.
  • The Move Ownership page in Maintenance now supports resetting the chosen settings on the page.

Fixed Bugs

  • In rare cases, the server could hang during setup when there were many different complex tasks.
  • Adds the {initiator} placeholder to the server stop trigger, which contains the display name of the user who restarted the server.
  • Tasks executed using the /api/taskplanner/execute endpoint are temporarily stored for the user, allowing them to access them later. If the tasks are not accessed again via the WebAPI within 60 seconds, they will be automatically removed.

Fixed Bugs

  • In the task planner maintenance section, it was not possible to move tasks away from deactivated users.
  • The parallel execution of one and the same task is now in general allowed
  • Manually starting a task while it is running is now possible
  • PUBLIC-API: To distinguish between multiple executions the TaskEvent and HistoryEntry now contains executionID, a unique ID for the execution.
  • PUBLIC-API: TaskPlanner's execute-method now return a CompletableFuture to allow more control over actions after the execution.
  • PUBLIC-API: New method cancelTaskExecution(GUID,GUID,boolean) to cancel a single running execution of a task instead of all running executions.
  • Added Low Memory Trigger to notify administrators of this critical situation.
  • PUBLIC-API: TimeTriggerFactory's generic type is now Trigger as it can return different types of trigger: TimeTrigger and TimeTriggerForCustomSettings

Fixed Bugs

  • Fixed loading of large lists of tasks in the UI
  • Fixed bug endlessly showing task as running with 0% or 100% progress although there was no execution.
  • The license check of the Reporting Plus license for the Task Planning application was incorrect.
  • The option custom in time triggers works correctly.
  • Placeholders are grouped if they start with the same prefix
  • Added the option custom in time triggers.
  • A maintenance module is provided for batch moving Task Planner tasks from one user to another.

Fixed Bugs

  • Fixed visibility of Task Planner triggers, jobs, and actions (based on a user's permissions) to be in sync with the visibility of help sections for these triggers, jobs, and actions.

Fixed Bugs

  • Long running tasks were sometimes displayed as 'INCOMPLETE'
  • Correction of identical file names in the file actions for multiple identical jobs with parameter placeholders in one task.
  • New Task Planner Job added to determine the free disk space in the working directory, cache and persistence directories. A threshold for minimum available disk space can be defined to trigger actions when there is not enough disk space left

Fixed Bugs

  • Triggering of time-trigger interval 'Two Weeks' was in wrong week at the beginning of a new year.
