Disable the What-if Analysis

You can disable the What-if Analysis in your environment by setting the optman enWhatIf | wi global option to no (default value is yes ).

The enWhatIf | wi global option interacts with the enWorkloadServiceAssurance | wa global option, which enables or disables privileged processing of mission-critical jobs and their predecessors. For details about this interaction, see the following table.
