Chapter 10. Controlling MTA tasks by using Task Manager

Task Manager provides precise information about the Migration Toolkit for Applications (MTA) tasks queued for execution. Task Manager handles the following types of tasks:

  • Application analysis
  • Language discovery
  • Technology discovery

You can display task-related information either of the following ways:

  • To display active tasks, open the Task Manager drawer by clicking the notifications button.
  • To display all tasks, open the Task Manager page in the Migration view.
Warning

There are no multi-user access restrictions on resources. For example, an analyzer task created by a user can be canceled by any other user.

  2. Click the Options menu ( kebab ) for the selected task.

  3. Click Task details.

    Alternatively, click on the task status in the Status column.

10.2. Controlling the order of task execution
Copy link

You can use Task Manager to preempt a Migration Toolkit for Applications (MTA) task you have scheduled for execution.

Note

You can enable Preemption on any scheduled task (not in the status of Running, Succeeded, or Failed). However, only lower-priority tasks are candidates to be preempted. When a higher-priority task is blocked by lower-priority tasks and has Preemption enabled, the low-priority tasks might be rescheduled so that the blocked higher-priority task might run. Therefore, it is only useful to enable Preemption on higher-priority tasks, for example, application analysis.

Procedure

  1. In the Migration view, click Task Manager.
  2. Click the Options menu ( kebab ) for the selected task.

  3. Depending on your scenario, complete one of the following steps:

    • To enable Preemption for the task, select Enable preemption.
    • To disable Preemption for the task with enabled Preemption, select Disable preemption.
