Disabling/Enabling Tasks

Certain situations may arise that requires you to restrict one or more tasks from running, such as during maintenance periods, holidays, or to prevent one task from interfering with another. In such cases, you can prevent tasks from starting automatically by disabling them.

When a task is disabled, it is bypassed during workflow execution. However, it can still be run manually from the Automate Ops Console's Tasks page by clicking Run Now (or from Automate Enterprise Management Console by clicking Run). See Running Tasks for more details.

Disabling/Enabling Individual Tasks

To disable a single task:

From the Tasks page, click Show Actions for the task you wish to disable.
Select Disable from the actions pop-up menu. For easy detection, a disabled icon will appear next to the name of the newly disabled task.

To enable a currently disabled task, follow the same steps above and select Enable from the actions pop-up menu. The option Disable or Enable alternates based on the current condition of the task.

Disabling/Enabling Multiple Tasks

For convenience, multiple tasks can be disabled or enabled sequentially. To disable two or more tasks:

From the Tasks page, click the checkbox located at the very left of each task you wish to disable. To select all records, click the top-most Select All checkbox.
Click the Disable button that appears on the title bar. If any of the selected tasks are already disabled, no action will be applied to those tasks and they will remain disabled.

To enable two or more disabled tasks, follow the same steps above and click the Enable button from the title bar.
