Usage of Prompts: Immediate vs Request

Environment

Release: WAASER99000-1.0-Automic Workload Automation-Services
Component:

Resolution

The prompt is shown when the object containing the prompt is being generated, whether it is a workflow, a job started directly or a workflow task.

This means:

• If this is while the object the user is starting is being generated, it will be shown immediately
• If the object the user has started is already running, the prompt will be shown as an asynchronous request

You can use the following to make sure the object generates at the time you wish:

	Want the prompt to display immediately.	Want the prompt to display at runtime.
Prompt attached directly to a workflow.	Uncheck "Generate at Runtime" on the Workflow	Check "Generate at Runtime" on the Workflow
Prompt attached to a task within a workflow.	Uncheck "Generate at Runtime" on the Task Check "Request Task Parameters" in the "General" tab of the Tasks Properties	Check "Generate at Runtime" on the Task Uncheck "Request Task Parameters" in the "General" tab of the Tasks Properties
Prompt attached directly to an object.	Uncheck "Generate at Runtime" on the object.	Check "Generate at Runtime" on the object.
