Setting Automation On or Off: INGAUTO

You can change the automation setting for a specific automated resource or a group of automated resources using the INGAUTO command dialog. You can turn all automation off or only particular automation flags.

Note:
  • Be sure to specify the correct subcomponent name. Although the subcomponent does not exist, the message FUNCTION COMPLETED will appear.
  • For suspended resources, it is not possible to change the automation settings via INGAUTO.

Enter INGAUTO on any command line to reach the INGAUTO command dialog panel.

In the Resource name field, type the name of the resource that you want to determine automation flags for. If you specify the value defaults, you set automation flags for all resources that do not have more specific automation flags defined or that do not belong to a group that has flags defined.

You can use the Interval field to turn automation on or off for all or selected flags for a specific time period. In this field, type the amount of time you want the automation turned on or off. This time period begins immediately when you press the Enter key.

At the end of the interval, the flag (or flags) will be reset to the value defined in your automation control file. If you leave the Interval field blank, the flag (or flags) will remain changed until they are manually reset or updated.
