Define the Data Collection Mode
CA GMI can be configured to collect data in either Automatic or Manual mode.
- In Automatic mode, object data is collected automatically when you open an object.
- In Manual mode, object data is only collected by the Windows Client when you click the Execute icon (
) in the open object view Toolbar.
To define the data collection mode in the Windows Client
- Click Tools in the Windows Client main window Menu Bar.
The following is a sample of the Windows Client main window Menu Bar and Toolbar.
