Viewing and Updating Resource Updates

The Resource Update panel in Daily Job Definition displays defined resource updates for the selected job. A resource update instructs OpCon to change the maximum number of resources for a named resource when a job enters a specific status, such as Finished OK or Failed.

For conceptual background, refer to Threshold/Resource Updates.

Changes made in Daily Job Definition take effect immediately. If the job has already run, changes apply the next time the job runs.
