The system does not put scenarios into effect automatically. This behavior allows you to activate scenarios only when you are ready for them to begin. At the appropriate time, do the following:
In the Scenario task window, right-click the name of the scenario you want to enable.
Select Enable Scenario from the pop-up menu.
(Alternatively, you can open the scenario for editing, and then select File > Enable Scenario.)
The system displays a red dot next to the scenario name (see the
WelcomeMailscenario in the example below) to show that you have marked it as active.
If the scenario contains any invalid or incomplete elements, an error message appears when you try to enable the scenario. Edit the elements as indicated, and then try enabling the scenario again.
Copy the appropriate scenario file to the production server for your live site.
Update the scenario server with the new information.
Important: The scenario is not active until you complete steps 3 and 4. For more information, see Copying and Switching Databases in the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide.
Notes: Many scenarios contain Time elements that also affect when a scenario begins. For example, if your scenario includes an On element that tells the scenario to begin on a specific date, you can enable the scenario before that, but it will not take effect until then.
You can enable a scenario only if your copy of the ATG Control Center is connected to the scenario editor server. See Configuring Scenarios in the ATG Personalization Programming Guide for more information on the differences between global, individual, and scenario editor servers.
