Automic Automation: The Anatomy of Task Execution

In Automic Automation, objects undergo four phases when you execute them, whether manually or automatically: Activation, Generation, Processing and Completion. Each of these phases consists of various steps that take place in a specific sequence. In this context, one function plays a particularly important role, namely the Generation at Activation Time vs. Generation at Runtime option. This switch determines when the scripts are generated.  

As a developer and object designer, it is key that you understand what happens in each phase to be able to configure your executable objects properly. This video-based course explains in detail the execution phases and their individual steps.
