Hi friends,
Does anyone know of a way to update the Task Status from a scheduled Function?
Imagine MRP ala “Next part to process”
I have a long running function that I sure would love to just update the status instead of writing logs every where. Thanks in advance and hope you are all doing FABULOUS.
Can you explain that a bit more Chris?
Hi Kevin, when I run an Epicor Function as task (on a schedule), I would like to populate the Activity status (I wrongfully called it TaskStatus which is different) with my task’s status.
Playing with it a bit, we can do it.
I gotta go for now, but I’ll hit ya back in the morning.
I got it working. Don’t have time to clean up my mess so I’ll post up later.
Y’all have a good weekend.
🫨 Dang! Much thanks (and props) in advance
No problem Mr. Corn
It did, not quite the same, but I integrated your example as well.

And if y’all want to laugh at me…
In the test function, I made a typo at first.
while (keepLooping)
{
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
TimeSpan timeElapsed = DateTime.Now - startTime;
if( timeElapsed.TotalSeconds >= numSeconds )
{
keepLooping = false;
}
if(bestGuessSysTaskNum > 0)
{
string testMessage = $"Elapsed Seconds: {timeElapsed.TotalSeconds.ToString()}";
//Activity Message
ThisLib.UpdateSysTaskMonitorActivityMessage(bestGuessSysTaskNum, testMessage);
//Task Log
ThisLib.WriteToTaskLog(bestGuessSysTaskNum, testMessage, (int)Epicor.ServiceModel.Utilities.MsgType.Info);
}
}
Instead of if( timeElapsed.TotalSeconds >= numSeconds )
I had if( timeElapsed.Seconds >= numSeconds )
The number of seconds I passed was 120.
Guess what happened… 
Lol, he made my screwup the solution, nice!
