Can I change Task parent on running task?

Is there a way in java to change 'parentTaskKey' of TaskInfo data object?

I noticed in vmware sdk 5.5 documentation that this field "*Need not be set", which I don't comprehend.

Solution

  • parentTaskKey is set based on what kind of task was run and what object it was run on. You can probably set it if you create a task, but for a running task you cannot change that property.

    "Need not be set" means that the value can be NULL and it is not required.
