Task Center

Scenarios

You can view the execution progress and statuses of asynchronous tasks submitted on the console in the Task Center. RDS allows you to view and manage instant and scheduled tasks.

You can delete the task records that no longer need to be displayed. The deletion only deletes the task records, and does not delete the DB instances or terminate the tasks that are being executed.

Constraints

Deleted task records cannot be recovered. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
