There may be times when you need to kill a long running Batch Processor Task as it may be blocking subsequent tasks. You can do this using the BatchProcessTaskConsole, which can be found on the Batch Processor server in C:\Program Files (x86)\Flexera Software\FlexNet Manager Platform\DotNet\bin.

The BatchProcessTaskConsole must be run using command line.

Open cmd as administrator and navigate to the BatchProcessTaskConsole file location.

 

To get help on the options available for the BatchProcessTaskConsole run the following,

BatchProcessTaskConsole.exe help, this provides a list of al available tasks and the command line options you can use with BatchProcessTaskConsole.

Usage: BatchProcessTaskConsole TASK [OPTIONS] [--TASK OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS]

Tasks:

ActiveDirectoryImport
ActivityLogHistoryDelete
ARLCleanup
ARLDownload

 -g    Run task for all tenants in group

 -p    Optional task specific properties (eg. -p Prop1=Val1,Prop2=Val2)

Other commands are available: run, test, test-all, list-tasks, fail-task,

process-dispatch

Execute 'BatchProcessTaskConsole help [command]' for more information on each

command.

 

Use the following to list all current tasks, submitted, queued or processing in the queue

BatchProcessTaskConsole.exe list-tasks

 

To kill a task run the following command line where ID is the tasks ID as shown in list-tasks.

BatchProcessTaskConsole.exe fail-task ID

 

There may sometimes be issues where a task will just hang at the pending state in the System Tasks Gui.

If killing the task and rerunning it does not clear the issue you could run a test on the task which can clear issues with the task and the scheduler. To do this run the following, where Task Name is the task identifier as shown when running BatchProcessTaskConsole.exe help.

 

BatchProcessTaskConsole.exe test [Task Name]

BatchProcessTaskConsole.exe fail-task ID does not work. You need to use -m as well for Ex: BatchProcessTaskConsole.exe fail-task -m 349088fb-14b7-439e-9215-23b351dc73bc

This is not mentioned anywhere in the documentation everywhere it's just "fail-task ID ". Took me a while to figure it out.
