To get the status of all WSA orders, click Track WSA Orders on the OS Migration menu. The report is presented in a tabular format and is made up of eight columns and by default, the results are ordered by the Last Modified Time column.
You can narrow the recordset by clicking the filter icon on all column headers except for Last Modified Time. As you define your filter criteria, it is dynamically saved at the top of the table. As the filter builds, results matching your filters are displayed in the table.
If you have inadvertently created an incorrect filter, click the cross next to it to remove it. Alternatively, click Clear Filters to remove all your dynamically saved filters.
Where a user has initiated a Prepare My Old PC for Replacement (they are migrating from their existing machine to a new one) and subsequently initiated a Restore My Data and Apps to a New PC (they are moving data from the old machine to the new one), we record details of this relationship as illustrated in the expanded record opposite.
Deleting orphaned orders
There are instances where a WSA order can remain in a running status without a corresponding running task sequence (the task sequence has failed in WinPE). You should only cancel orders that are in this state – typically, when a user notices that the task sequence has not started to run after the WSA Readiness screen (for example, if they ran the the In-place upgrade deployment) or if they are prompted that a task sequence is already running when they run the deployment and gets in touch with you to investigate.
If you cancel an order while the task sequence is running, it is likely that the status of the order will not transition to Deployment Succeeded or Deployment Failed when the existing task sequence completes.
To removed orphaned orders from the report:
- On the OS Migration menu, click Track WSA Orders.
- In the Track WSA Orders report, identify the orders with a Deployment in progress status – they have Cancel button associated with it.
- Locate the order to cancel and under the Cancel column, click Cancel.
- In the Cancel Order dialog, confirm your actions.
- The status columns updates to Administrator cancelled. If you select No in the Cancel Order dialog, the order is left in its original state and the status column is not update.
However, if you have installed the Tachyon 3.2 Agent, this is not likely to happen and the report will return a failed status so that you can easily identify and remove it.
