Asynchronous tasks and display task progress

Abiquo 4.6 introduces asynchronous tasks for the following actions:

• Create and delete virtual datacenters

• Create, edit and delete VPNs

This means that the user does not have to wait for these operations to complete before they can continue working on the platform. 

You can display the progress of tasks in the user interface in Events view on the Tasks tab.

Open

You can select the dates to filter tasks.

With the Access users view privilege, you can select your users from the list to display their tasks.

Open

On the Tasks tab, the Owner attribute represents the entity that the task is operating on, for example, the name of the virtual datacenter. The Owner attribute will be empty after a delete task because the entity no longer exists. 

To display the states of the jobs that make up the task, click on the task. If a job is in progress, a spinning wheel displays for the task state.

If a task did not finish successfully, the platform displays the error. 

You can also display the full details of the error.

In addition to the progress and status on the new Tasks tab, the platform will still display a toast message when a task finishes.
