Introduction
- Schedules determine the start times of Orders, the Workflow and Variables assigned to Orders.
- Schedules are applied by the JS7 - Daily Plan to create Orders for the given date and time.
- Schedules can be manually applied from the Daily Plan view.
- Schedules are automatically applied by the JS7 - Daily Plan Service.
Manage Schedules
Schedules are available from the Configuration -> Inventory view.
Explanations:
- A Schedules is assigned a unique name.
- A Schedule includes a reference to a Workflow for which Orders will be created.
- A Schedule is assigned a run-time that specifies the rules for dates and times when for Orders are to be run.
- A Schedule can include a number of Variables, see JS7 - Variables.
Assign a Run-time to a Schedule
- TBD
Assign Variables to a Schedule
- Variables are declared with a Workflow. The declaration includes to specify if a Variable is mandatory or can make use of a default value.
- The user interface for Schedules requires that any mandatory Variables are assigned a value.
- In addition, values for optional Variables can be specified.
Release a Schedule
- When a Schedule is edited with the user interface then it is considered a draft.
- A draft Schedule can be valid or invalid and is automatically stored, however, it will not be used before it will be released.
- To release a Schedule the respective user interface operation is required.
- The Schedule will be validated for completeness which results in a valid/invalid status.
- In case of an invalid Schedule check that all required configuration items such as the Schedule name, Workflow, Run-time and Variables have been assigned.
- A valid Schedule is released which makes it usable by the Daily Plan either for manual or automated creation of Orders.
Use of Schedules with the Daily Plan
When configuring a Schedule then two settings can be checked that determine use with the Daily Plan:
- Plan Order automatically: this setting activates the Schedule for use with the JS7 - Daily Plan Service. As a result Orders are automatically added with a PLANNED state.
- Submit Order to Controller when planned: this setting offers to automatically submit PLANNED Orders to a Controller. As a result such orders are assigned a PENDING state.
Use with the Daily Plan View
- The view offers to manually create a daily plan for a given date.
- This functionality includes to apply individual Schedules or all Schedules to generate Orders.
- Only valid Schedules that have been released can be used by the Daily Plan.
Use with the Daily Plan Service
- The Daily Plan Service makes use of any released Schedules that hold the configuration items
- to plan Orders automatically or
- to submit Orders to a Controller when planned
- The Daily Plan Service will plan and submit Orders for the number of days ahead that is specified with the service configuration.
