When you execute a task in the consolidation monitor, the system
processes the task both in the current version and in all extension
versions. If task processing results in errors in the extension versions
but not in the explicitly executed version, the system changes the
status of the task to <LS>Task: Error in Extension Version</>.
If you activate menu entry <LS>Tasks -> Last Log </> in the
consolidation monitor, the system displays the task logs for the current
version as well as the extension versions in the list of task logs.
