- Start or stop a transaction in all profiles where the transaction is configured.
- Start or stop all transactions that are configured to use the specified application.

The navigator items are displayed with different icons
to indicate the object state.

is stopped when everything included in this object is stopped. For

application is displayed as grey in the navigation tree.

icon, one of the following conditions might be in effect:- For a transaction:
- There are no profiles associated with the transaction.
- Not all of the profiles listed under the transaction have this transaction started in the profiles.

- There are transactions that are currently stopped in the profile (only in the Profile view).
- No transaction is selected for the profile.
- There is no distribution list in the profile.
- For a transaction:
