Adding Resources

A Resource is a numeric variable that represents a finite pool of units. Jobs can require a set number of Resource units to run, which limits concurrency and prevents Resource contention across your automation environment.

To add a Resource, complete the following steps:

  1. Under the Administration topic, select Resources. The Resources screen opens.
  2. On the Resources toolbar, select Add.
  3. In the Resource Name field, enter an alphanumeric name for the Resource.
  4. (Optional) In the Documentation field, enter notes that describe the Resource's purpose.
  5. In the Max Resources field, enter a numeric value for the maximum number of Resource units available. The default is 0.
  6. On the Resources toolbar, select Save.

Result: The new Resource is saved and appears in the Resource list.

  1. Select Close (to the right of the Resources tab) to close the Resources screen.
