12.2 Working with Reactions
To manually control a reaction, search for the reaction you want to work on (see
Reactions Workspace [➙ 353]), and then use the following workflow:
Enable [➙ 355]
or
disable [➙ 355] the reaction.
12.2.1 Enabling a Reaction
If a reaction is not enabled by configuration, you need to enable it first before the
management system can execute it. Enabling a reaction means that it will be
executed when its trigger conditions occur.
To enable a reaction proceed as follows:
You are authorized to issue standard commands on the relevant project scope.
The reaction is currently inactive (its status in the Contextual pane is Disabled),
and you want to enable it.
1. In System Browser, select Application View.
2. Select Applications > Logics > Reactions.
3. In the main Reactions folder, or in a subfolder under it, select the reaction you
want to enable.
4. To enable the reaction, in the Operation tab [➙ 354] of the Contextual pane,
click Enable.
The status of the current reaction changes to Enabled.
12.2.2 Disabling a Reaction
Disabling a reaction prevents it from being triggered, while still retaining the
reaction within the system. For example, you might do this for reactions that are not
yet complete or ready to be put into general use.
NOTE:
When you disable a reaction, the management system generates an event. This
event is automatically cleared when you re-enable the reaction.
To disable a reaction, proceed as follows:
You are authorized to issue standard commands on the relevant project scope.
The reaction is currently active (its status in the Contextual pane is Enabled),
and you want to disable it.
1. In System Browser, select Application View.
2. Select Applications > Logics > Reactions.
3. In the main Reaction folder, or in a subfolder under it, select the reaction you
want to disable.
4. To disable the reaction, in the Operation tab [➙ 354] of the Contextual pane,
click Disable.
The status of the current reaction changes to Disabled.
