FAQ

Where should a task signal completion when Callback is chosen as the completion event?

To signal completion, the function should POST completion data to the following pipelines REST endpoint.

{planUri}/{projectId}/_apis/distributedtask/hubs/{hubName}/plans/{planId}/events?api-version=2.0-preview.1

**Request Body**
{ "name": "TaskCompleted", "taskId": "taskInstanceId", "jobId": "jobId", "result": "succeeded" }

See this simple cmdline application for specifics. In addition, a C# helper library is available to enable live logging and managing task status for agentless tasks. Learn more

Why does the task failed within 1 minute when the timeout is longer?

If the function executes for more than 1 minute, use the Callback completion event. The API Response completion option is supported for requests that complete within 60 seconds.
