For Editors

After installation you should see a menu called Task Queue. Here all tasks are shown.

Tasks can have four different statuses:

• Red: Task failed.
• Yellow: Task is running.
• Blue: Task is waiting.
• Green: Task is finished.

A Task can be started and deleted manually.

Each task has a start date, which defines the date the task can be started. This is not respected when starting a task manually.

Message of tasks can contain log message but also exception.

Every task can have a priority.

You can not create tasks manually, because this would not make sense. A task can only be created by another extension, because you have to implement the run() method. More about that see dev-manual.

Commands

./vendor/bin/typo3cms taskqueue:run-tasks limit whitelist blacklist

Limit defines how many tasks should be executed.

Whitelist should be a comma seperated list of names. Every task name that is included in this list is executed.

Blacklist is analog the opposite.

These options exist for filtering task execution.

./vendor/bin/typo3cms taskqueue:delete-tasks dateInterval

DateInterval defines the intervall after witch the tasks should be deleted. The following syntax is supported: https://www.php.net/manual/en/dateinterval.construct.php
