Task Settings

This guide explains how to configure task-related settings in Release, such as polling intervals, log retention, and options for custom script tasks.

note

The System settings screen is reorganized to make the navigation more user-friendly. The settings are now grouped by theme, to easily locate and access the features.

To access the Tasks settings:

1. Go to the Digital.ai Release.

2. In the upper-right corner, click the Settings ( ) icon.

3. Select the System Settings > Tasks.

   note

   The Tasks settings page is available only for Administrators, who have the Admin global permission.

Task Polling

You can configure the polling interval to automatically refresh the tasks and release flow screens when a task status changes.

• Refresh Task status every: Enter the interval (in seconds) to refresh the task status on the Tasks screen. The default is 5 seconds.
• Refresh Task list every: Enter the interval (in seconds) to refresh the task list on the Tasks screen. The default is 60 seconds.

Task Execution Log Purging

You can configure a specified time after which the task execution logs can be deleted from the Release server.

• In the Delete Task execution logs older than field, enter the number of days. This indicates the number of days after which the task execution logs stored on the Release server are deleted. The default value is 10 seconds.

Preserve Output Variable on Failure for Custom Script Tasks

If a custom script task fails, there is an option to preserve any output variables that are created before the failure.

There are two ways to configure:

• Select the Preserve output variable value for Custom script task checkbox.

• Configure this setting in the xl-release.conf file. The default value is false.

  

  When this checkbox is selected, and if the Custom Script task fails without exception, output variable values set before failure will be preserved.

  note

  This setting is global and applies to all the Custom Script tasks.
