Objects can be activated in various ways with the originator of the activation being referred to as the superordinate taskThere are various ways of activating objects. The originator of the activation is referred to as the superordinate task (parent). or parentThere are different ways of activating objects.

*) To obtain information about a groupAn Automation Engine object type that integrates tasks so that they can be processed together., you must activate the setting "Generate at runtime" (Attributes tab) in the task that uses this script functionPre-defined run book template in the Automation Engine. One single step only, e.g. Start Windows Service, Copy file,…. If this option is not activated, you can only retrieve information about groups using the post processing option.
