6.4.2.6.8.2. System Details
Events
Pending
Lists events that are scheduled but have not begun. A prerequisite action is required to complete
successfully before a given action will be attempted. If an action has a prerequisite, there will not
be a checkbox available to cancel that specific action. Instead, there will be a checkbox next to the
prerequisite action; Cancelling the prerequisite action will cause the action in question to fail.
Actions can be chained in this manner so that action ’a’ requires action ’b’ which requires action ’c’.
Action ’c’ will be the first one attempted, and will be the one with the checkbox next to it until it is
completed successfully - if any action in the chain fails, the remaining actions also fail. To unschedule
a pending event, select the event and click the
Cancel Events
button at the bottom of the page. The
following icons indicate the type of events listed here:
•
— Package Event
•
— Errata Event
•
— Preferences Event
•
— System Event
