Additional click options on an action button

You can configure the behavior of an action button when it is clicked again while already running a TurboIntegrator process.

In previous versions of IBM® Planning Analytics Workspace, clicking an action button when it was already running a process canceled the process.

In this version of IBM Planning Analytics Workspace, you can configure the additional click behavior for an action button by using the Additional click options settings on the Run Process tab on the button Properties panel.

The following behavior can be configured for additional button clicks:

Cancel process

When an action button that is already running a process is clicked again, the process is canceled, and a related message is displayed. This is the default behavior, which is known from previous versions of the product.

Do nothing

When an action button that is already running a process is clicked again the process continues to run. A new process is not started.

Run processes in parallel

When an action button that is already running a process is clicked again a new process is started, and the previous process or processes continue to run. This option is useful when the book user wants to run a series of overlapping processes by using the same action button.

You can run a maximum of 5 processes in parallel. If you attempt to run the 6th process, a message about this limit is displayed.
