|
task (`vim.Task`_):
|
|
|
|
The managed object that represents this task.
|
|
description (`vmodl.LocalizableMessage`_, optional):
|
|
|
|
The description field of the task describes the current phase of operation of the task. For a task that does a single monolithic activity, this will be fixed and unchanging. For tasks that have various substeps, this field will change as the task progresses from one phase to another.
|
|
name (`str`_, optional):
|
|
|
|
The name of the operation that created the task. This is not set for internal tasks.
|
|
descriptionId (`str`_):
|
|
|

An identifier for this operation. This includes publicly visible internal tasks and is a lookup in the TaskDescription methodInfo data object.

|
entity (`vim.ManagedEntity`_, optional):
|
|
|
|
Managed entity to which the operation applies.
|
|
entityName (`str`_, optional):
|
|
|
|
The name of the managed entity, locale-specific, retained for the history collector database.
|
|
locked ([`vim.ManagedEntity`_], optional):
|
|
|
|
If the state of the task is "running", then this property is a list of managed entities that the operation has locked, with a shared lock.
|
|
state (`vim.TaskInfo.State`_):
|
|
|
|
Runtime status of the task.
|
|
cancelled (`bool`_):
|
|
|
|
Flag to indicate whether or not the client requested cancellation of the task.
|
|
cancelable (`bool`_):
|
|
|
|
Flag to indicate whether or not the cancel task operation is supported.
|
|
error (`vmodl.LocalizedMethodFault`_, optional):
|
|
|
|
If the task state is "error", then this property contains the fault code.
|
|
result (`object`_, optional):
|
|
|
|
If the task state is "success", then this property may be used to hold a return value.
|
|
progress (`int`_, optional):
|
|
|
|
If the task state is "running", then this property contains a progress measurement, expressed as percentage completed, from 0 to 100.If this property is not set, then the command does not report progress.
|
|
reason (`vim.TaskReason`_):
|
|
|
|
Kind of entity responsible for creating this task.
|
|
queueTime (`datetime`_):
|
|
|
|
Time stamp when the task was created.
|
|
startTime (`datetime`_, optional):
|
|
|
|
Time stamp when the task started running.
|
|
completeTime (`datetime`_, optional):
|
|
|
|
Time stamp when the task was completed (whether success or failure).
|
|
eventChainId (`int`_):
|
|
|
|
Event chain ID that leads to the corresponding events.
|
|
changeTag (`str`_, optional):
|
|
|
|
The user entered tag to identify the operations and their side effects
|
|
parentTaskKey (`str`_, optional):
|
|
|
|
Tasks can be cretaed by another task. This shows `key`_ of the task spun off this task. This is to track causality between tasks.
|
|
rootTaskKey (`str`_, optional):
|
|
|
|
Tasks can be cretaed by another task and such creation can go on for multiple levels. This is the `key`_ of the task that started the chain of tasks.
