Deactivation is useful, if you do not yet use a certain runnable, but maybe need it later. If you activate the runnables again, you can still use the setup program to update your ARIS version. To deactivate runnables is safer than removing or shutting them down.
A deactivated runnable cannot be started with a start command. They will be ignored by the startall command and the agent's runnable autostart.
Prerequisites
Runnables are in STOPPED or FAILED state.
Procedure
To deactivate the runnable enter, for example: deactivate simulation_m
The simulation runnable will not be started, until you have activated it again.
