Modifying Properties (Agent Groups)

Agent Group containers are used to store the maximum number of Agents on which a task may run in parallel. During runtime, this number can be set higher to allow more parallel executions, or to 0 to temporarily suspend the execution of tasks. In the latter case, the status of the task changes to Waiting for host.

This option is available for tasks with a status between 1500 and 1799. For all others it is not possible to change the Agent Group. For more information about status codes, see System Return Codes of Executable Objects.

Tip: Add a comment to your modification to keep track of your changes. See Adding Comments.
