Application Management Console Take Action commands

Use the Application Management Console Take Action commands to start or stop applications, transactions, and profiles, or delete robotic scripts from within the Tivoli Enterprise Portal. These commands can be used in automatic situations and as isolated take action requests.

Display in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal

The navigator items are displayed with different icons to indicate the object state:
  • Stopped

    If the object is stopped, its navigator item is inactive (grayed out). The object is stopped when everything included in this object is stopped. For example, if all transactions within an application are stopped, the application is displayed as grey in the navigation tree.

  • Started

    When the navigator item displays normally, it is in the started state.
