Viewing and Updating Resource Updates

Overview​

The Resource Update panel in Master Job Definition displays resource updates for the job. A resource update causes OpCon to change the maximum number of resources for a defined resource when the job enters a specific status, such as Finished OK or Failed. Resource updates can be defined at the job level or for a specific frequency. For background information, refer to Threshold/Resource Updates.

The panel bar includes two controls:

  • Select the full-screen button (Full Screen Panel Icon) at the far right of the panel bar to enter or exit Full Screen mode.
  • When the panel contains defined resource updates, a blue circular indicator (Job Properties Indicator) appears to the right of the panel name showing the count of defined updates.
