- You can schedule only one Module, Project or Run Book per command line.
- You can specify only one Team or Agent per command line.
- If all the necessary Teams and/or Agents have already been configured in the Run Book, you do not need to schedule an Agent or Team for a Run Book. If the Run Book has an empty Who field anywhere, you do need to specify an Agent or Team parameter.
The GUID of a Module, Project, Run Book, Agent or Team is shown on the item's Properties tab.
