Task Modifications and Effects

Whenever an object is manually modified and stored, the system checks whether this object is currently being executed.

If so, a warning is displayed:

"ATTENTION: Modifications in object 'JOBP01_TEST' can affect running processes. Save anyway?"

In most cases, object modification actually influences ongoing executions. Nevertheless, this only applies to tasks that are not yet active but in the status "registered" or "waiting for precondition".

The listing below shows all modifications that show only little or no effects at all:

Object type	Modified setting	Effects
All executable objects	Start type (Group)	None Note: The script function GET_ATT supplies the name of the new group.
Notification	Responsible recipient, calendar and calendar keyword	None
Cockpit	Content of the Cockpit tab	None
	Properties of the display elements	None
Event	Calendar tab	None
FileTransfer	Use of wildcards	None
Job	Host	No effects when the job is in the status "Waiting for Host"
Workflow	Content of the Workflow tab	None
	Properties of tasks	Modifications only take effect when they were made via the Workflow Monitor
RemoteTaskManager	Filter specifications	None
Schedule	Period and result evaluation	None
	Content of the Schedule tab and properties of tasks	Modifications take effect when they were made in the monitor. If they were made in the object, it is queried if the modifications should be reloaded at the next period turnaround.
