Work with Global Switch Exit Points screen
The Work with Global Switch Exit Points screen is used to list, add, and remove global switch exit points. The screen is divided into two sections - Before Switch Exit Point methods and After Switch Exit Point methods.
Before Switch Exit Point methods are the exit point methods to be executed before a profile is actually switched. These exit point methods are used to perform validation functions not provided by Powertech. This validation process can prevent a profile switch from occurring. A maximum of 50 exit point methods may be defined.
After Switch Exit Point methods are the exit point methods to be executed after a profile switch has occurred. These exit point methods are used to perform functions not provided by Powertech. Saving and changing a job's library list is an example of how these exit point methods mag be utilized. A maximum of 50 exit point methods may be defined.
