you can view resources in the Available list. The list

Tasks that are available for a system can
vary with the state of that system. For example, the Power Off task is not
available for a system that is already powered off, but you might want to
select that task for your event automation plan if
the system is normally powered on. Available tasks also can vary depending
on the access state of the system.

select the Filter the tasks based on the current state of
the selected system check box, only tasks that are currently available on the selected
system are displayed in this list. If the check box is cleared, all IBM Systems
Director noninteractive
tasks are displayed.
