Resource Definition Examples and Tips › General Tips

General Tips

The following list provides some general tips on implementing resource definitions:

• If a defined resource cannot be displayed, then derive its actual state by displaying related resources. For example, a resource, A, which cannot be displayed, has two children, B and C. To get the state of resource A, you can display resource B instead.
• If a resource does not generate messages that indicate its health, then use the heartbeat feature to poll the status of the resource regularly.
• If you want to submit batch jobs in the operation of a started task, then use the SUBJOB macro as part of the relevant process.
