 ACM Options page

Interactive Mode

In interactive mode, the configuration process commences when the Execute button is clicked on the Configuration Template Definition page and does not allow a user to navigate out of the page.

Scheduled Mode

In scheduled mode, when the Execute button is clicked, the configuration process is scheduled in Process Scheduler and while it is being processed a user can navigate to other pages. If you select scheduled mode, you should ensure that the Process Scheduler domain is running.
