Starting tasks

This topic describes how to start tasks in IBM Director.

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.
註: 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.
