Modify Task Definitions of a Batch

You can modify the task definition state in the Batch Execution window to exclude or hold the defined task in a batch from execution.

The excluded tasks are therefore assumed to have completed execution and get excluded during the batch run. While executing or scheduling a batch from the Schedule Batch window, you can:

Exclude a task or include the excluded task
Hold a task or release the held task.

You can exclude tasks or include the excluded tasks during batch execution. The excluded task components are therefore executed in the normal process assuming that the excluded task have completed execution.

To exclude/include tasks:

In the Schedule Batch window, click Exclude Tasks. The Select Tasks window is displayed.
To exclude tasks:
1. Select the required task from the Included Tasks list and click the > icon. You can press Ctrl key for multiple selections.
2. To exclude all tasks, click the >> icon.
To include the excluded tasks:
1. Select the required task from the Excluded Tasks list and click the < icon. You can press Ctrl key for multiple selections.
2. To include all excluded tasks, click the << icon.
Click Save.

You can hold tasks or release the held tasks during batch execution. The tasks which are on hold along with the defined components are skipped during execution. However, at least one task should be available in a batch without being held/excluded for batch execution.

To hold/release tasks:

In the Schedule Batch window, click Hold Tasks. The Select Tasks window is displayed.
To hold tasks:
1. Select the required task from the Released Tasks list and click the > icon. You can press Ctrl key for multiple selections.
2. To hold all tasks, click the >> icon.
To release held tasks:
1. Select the required task from the Held Tasks list and click the < icon. You can press Ctrl key for multiple selections.
2. To release all held tasks, click the << icon.
Click Save.
