RE: Session log, Task and Workflow Manager
 
Session Log:The session log contains the status of  the job whether it is running or abended or good end. And also the information about the every step execution.

Task: This is the stage for a particular activity you need to perform while running the mapping. for example: your mapping is performing some transformations and finally loading the output data into flat files or table in a db.once this is done, you need to notify via email to the respective authorities. in this case, in the workflow manager, you can add a email task after a session(for that mapping).
So while running the workflow, it will send the trigger mail to the specified ids.

Workflow manager: you can create the set of instructions called workflows using the mapping in the designer.
