Modifying Tasks at Runtime

When an object is manually modified and stored, the system checks whether it is currently being executed and, if so, displays a message prompting the user to confirm the changes. The reason is that usually, runtime changes affect the ongoing execution. The following modifications show little or no effect:

Object type	Modified setting	Effects
All executable objects	Start type (Group)	None Note: The GET_ATT script function provides the name of the new group.
Notification	Responsible recipient, calendar and calendar event	None
Event	Calendar tab	None
File Transfer	Use of wildcards	None
Job	Host	No effect when the job is in the status Waiting for agent.
Workflow	Content of the Workflow page	None
Workflow	Properties of tasks	Modifications only take effect if made via the Workflow Monitor
RemoteTaskManager	Filter specifications	None
Schedule	Period and result evaluation	None
Schedule	Content of the Schedule page and properties of tasks	Modifications take effect if made in the monitor. If made in the object, a message prompts you to confirm whether the changes should be reloaded at the next period turnaround.
