# Monitoring the status of a deployment task
<a name="SSAS.Monitor"></a>

To track the status of your deployment (or download) task, call the `rds_fn_task_status` function. It takes two parameters. The first parameter should always be `NULL` because it doesn't apply to SSAS. The second parameter accepts a task ID. 

To see a list of all tasks, set the first parameter to `NULL` and the second parameter to `0`, as shown in the following example.

```
SELECT * FROM msdb.dbo.rds_fn_task_status(NULL,{{0}});
```

To get a specific task, set the first parameter to `NULL` and the second parameter to the task ID, as shown in the following example.

```
SELECT * FROM msdb.dbo.rds_fn_task_status(NULL,{{42}});
```

The `rds_fn_task_status` function returns the following information.
