Set an object OffScan

OffScan is the run-time state that indicates that an object is idle and not ready to run.

Because WinPlatforms host AppEngines, you must ensure that all AppEngines hosted by the WinPlatform are OffScan before setting the WinPlatform OffScan. An error message appears if you try to set a WinPlatform OffScan while its hosted AppEngines are still OnScan.

Although AppEngines host other objects, it is not necessary for all the objects to be OffScan before setting the AppEngine OffScan. When you set an AppEngine OffScan, all of its hosted objects are automatically set OffScan.

To set an ApplicationObject OffScan

1. Select the object in the console tree.

2. In the details pane, right-click the ScanStateCmd attribute and select Modify. The Modify Boolean Value dialog box appears.

3. Assuming the current value is True (OnScan), select the False option button, select Apply, and then OK.

   Note that the ScanState attribute’s value in the details pane remains True (OnScan).

4. To update the attribute value to False, select it.
