3. Select a substitute option:
• Automatic—Allows the Active System Manager software to determine (based on current
allocation and availability) a new resource that satisfies the original requirement.
• Select resource from reserved pool (For Administrators Only)—For more information about
resource pooling, see the “Managing Resource Pools” section on page 5-54.
• Manual—Allows you to select from the existing resources available in the inventory.
4. Click OK to replace the existing resource with the new resource.
If the session is in a Running state, the Resource Adapter methods are invoked as part of the default
setup process.
Deactivating and Activating Resources
Deactivating a resource during the session life cycle does put the resource back into the free pool of
resources, but it is still displayed in the session as a convenience.
To deactivate resources, perform the following steps:
1. Open a session editor.
2. Right-click a resource and select Status > Inactive.
The editor displays with the inactive resources; see Figure 12-37.

3. Save the Template for the changes to take effect.
Operations on the inactive resource are no longer available. To return the resource into Active State
again (activating), in the editor, right-click your resource and select Status > Active.
4. Save the Template for the changes to take effect and to invoke the scheduler and Resource Adapters.
