TaskStatus (IBM WebSphere Application Server, Release 8.5)

All Superinterfaces:

java.io.Serializable

All Known Subinterfaces:

BeanTaskInfo, MessageTaskInfo, TaskInfo
```
public interface TaskStatus
extends java.io.Serializable
```
The current state of a scheduled task.
The Scheduler interface has methods which allow modifying and viewing a task that was created using the Scheduler.create(TaskInfo) method. Throughout the lifetime of a task, the status will change and it might be useful to know what that state is.
A TaskStatus record that represents the current state can be obtained from various Scheduler methods, and can be specifically queried using the Scheduler.getStatus(String) method. TaskStatus is a snapshot of the task's state and does not change. To retrieve the current state of a task, the Scheduler.getStatus(String) method must be re-run.
The getStatus() method returns the current state of the task within its life cycle. The method in which the TaskStatus was retrieved and the semantics of the task itself determine if this state reflects the current state or the next effective state.
A task's normal life cycle, when using the quality of service TaskInfo.QOS_ATLEASTONCE or the task execution option of TaskInfo.EXECUTION_DELAYEDUPDATE, is:
SCHEDULED > RUNNING > COMPLETE
If a task is repeating:
SCHEDULED > RUNNING > SCHEDULED > RUNNING > ...
If a task is automatically purged:
SCHEDULED > RUNNING > INVALID
The SUSPENDED, CANCELLED and INVALID states can occur anytime during the task's life cycle.
If the task is using the default TaskInfo.QOS_ONLYONCE quality of service, the RUNNING state is never used. The task always reflects the next effective state.

    The scheduled task is suspended. The task will not fire until it is resumed.

  - CANCELLED
```
static final int CANCELLED
```
    The scheduled task has been cancelled using the Scheduler.cancel method. The task will not fire and it cannot be resumed, but it can be purged.

  - COMPLETE
```
static final int COMPLETE
```
    The scheduled task has fired to completion. Each time a task fires, the number of repeats is decremented until it reaches zero. Once it reaches this state, it cannot be resumed, but it can be purged.
