v2.1.6+Configuring tasks in the plan

You can modify a submitted task before it starts running. When the task is in the ready or hold status, you can configure specific run properties on the Monitor page.

About this task

Before a task starts running, you can modify its current definition, use another task definition entirely, or configure its scheduling options and time restrictions. These updates apply only to the current run and do not change the original task definition. The properties you can modify are dynamic and depend on the plug-in type of the selected task. To configure tasks in plan, complete the following steps:
