## Managed Object Description

A task is used to monitor long running operations.

Properties

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
None

Methods

Methods defined in this Managed Object
VslmCancelTask, VslmQueryInfo, VslmQueryTaskResult

# VslmCancelTask(cancel)

Cancel a running or queued task. A task may only be canceled if it is cancelable. Multiple cancel requests will be treated as a single cancellation request. Canceling a completed task will throw an InvalidState exception.

If a task is canceled, its runtime state will be set to TaskInfo.State.error and the TaskInfo.canceled flag will be set to true.

A cancel operation is asynchronous. The operation may return before the task is canceled.
