Archiving report - task status running - old RUN ID - How to update?

[Rem_y]

Hello, does anyone know where in SQL I can locate references to archiving task runs selected by Run ID? I've a bunch of scheduled archiving tasks listed on an archiving report with the status of Running, but they have start times of 4 months ago. I double checked no archiving was going on with a quick DTrace with tasks started and stopped so I know there's no archiving going on, but I don't know where I can find these task jobs listed in SQL so I can kill them and have my archiving reports look neat and tidy again! Any ideas?

Just remove the offending folders. (or move them somewhere else)

Hello Gertjan, thanks for the link. I ended up logging this one with support and it turns out the solution to this is as follows:

Task status is determiend by an XML in the report folder itself called RunInfo.xml. If you edit the file in Notepad you'll see a status value of 0 which should in fact be 2. Update this status code, save the file and refresh the IE report page, and voila

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" ?><Information><Status>0</Status>

Update like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" ?><Information><Status>2</Status>
