You can access multiple archive data sources from a single Task Engine installation to search tasks, archived by other Task Engine instances in the landscape. For the data source to be available for searching, you must configure the connection details on the Data Sources page in My webMethods.

As Task Engine can search and retrieve task archives from various data sources on different machines, the corresponding task application might not be deployed on the Task Engine instance from which you execute a search. Task Engine displays the archived task data in a generic, simplified view, regardless of the way in which the task data is displayed in the original task user interfaces.
