You can start most tasks in
IBM Director in
four ways:
- Dragging a task onto a managed object (or a managed group, in
some cases)
- Dragging a managed object (or a managed group, in some cases)
onto a task
- Right-clicking a managed object (or managed group, in some cases)
- Selecting the managed object or group, then selecting a task from the
menu bar
Throughout this documentation, only dragging a task onto a managed
object or
group is explained as the method of starting tasks, although you can use any
of the methods.
Some
IBM Director functions,
such as the Event Action Plan Builder and Scheduler, may be started either
from the menu bar or from the toolbar.
Note: When IBM Director Console is
processing a task, the hourglass is displayed for that window and you cannot
use the mouse to work with the window. Although it might be possible to work
with the window using key strokes, do not do so.
