About Different Modes of Running Assignment Manager

You can choose one of two ways (default mode or rule group mode) to run Assignment Manager, depending on which rules that you want processed.

• Default mode. In this mode, all active rules for all rule groups are loaded and processed. By default, interactive and dynamic assignment run in default mode. However, you can configure interactive assignment to run in rule group mode.

• Rule group mode. In this mode, you can process rules of one particular rule group when you assign an object row.

The following table shows the supported operating modes and server components used for running each mode. The components are Assignment Manager (AsgnSrvr), Batch Assignment (AsgnBatch), Generate Triggers (GenTrig), and Workflow Monitor Agent (WorkMon).
