HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Software - Manual (Page 178)

NOTE:
If Replication Manager is not running when a task is scheduled to execute, the task will be executed
as follows:
• For tasks with an execution interval specified, the task is run at the next execution time after startup
occurs.
• For tasks without an execution interval, the task is run immediately after startup occurs.
For example, if you create copy groups A and B, which constitute a multi-target configuration, and
copy groups C and D, which constitute a cascade configuration, Replication Manager generates two
tasks, each on a copy group basis, for each workflow.
TIP:
For situations such as when storage system resources and host applications are managed by different
administrators, the work status at any point during copy pair creation by a wizard can be saved as
a workflow and passed from one administrator to the next. In this case, a new task is generated when
the wizard finishes and the saved workflow is overwritten.
Because associated tasks have an execution order, a task that must be executed prior to another task
is known as a prerequisite task. If an execution problem occurs, error messages are displayed indicating
when a prerequisite task has failed and the steps necessary to correct the problem.
