However, if there are images, documents or attachments that are part of the imported issue, then the insert\/update must be completed by the originating node. There is nothing for the user to do to ensure this, but the parallelism will be affected because those update\/inserts are dedicated to a single node.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The task is configured on the following screen:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/v25\/extraview-media\/images\/ag\/system_controls\/add-update-task.png\" width=\"90%\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"imageCaption\">Task manager for adding \/ updating tasks<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The task should be run on a single node a clustered environment.
