Failed Tasks Notification.
If the task is unable to finish its work due to the server error it is flagged as "Locked" and is no longer scheduled for execution. A "Failed Tasks" notification appears on the administrator dashboard. You can "Unlock" the task under "Administrator - Settings - Scheduled Tasks" once the error is fixed.
