Looking at Task Output
If you use an application that produces output, the Show
Output button in the Work in Progress dialog box is not
dimmed. To display task output, click on the Show Output
button. The Session Manager opens a Task Output window.
command that normally produces output files that you need
to see, Session Manager opens a Task Output window. For
example, when you search a file for a text string, you want
to see the results of that search operation, that is, a listing
of every line in the selected file on which the text string you
specified appears.
If the output is more than one screen of text, the text scrolls
off the screen. Click on the Hold Output button to stop and
resume scrolling. Use the scroll bars to redisplay the last
100 lines of text that scrolled off the screen. When you finish
viewing the output, or if you want to view it at a later time,
click on the Dismiss button.
If Session Manager cannot execute the task successfully,
it displays the word ``Error'' next to the Status column in
the Work in Progress dialog box. Click on the Show Output
button in the Work in Progress dialog box to display the error
message.
If the task produces output files, for example, copied files, and
the Task Output window is not currently displayed, the words
``New Output'' are displayed next to the Status column in
the Work in Progress dialog box. Click on the Show Output
button to display the output.
