About this task
If you need to manually change the status of a virtual
destination, follow these steps:
- Enter the S row command from the MODIFYING A WORK STATION IN THE
CURRENT PLAN panel. The following panel is displayed:

If you change the destination status to F or O, specify also an action for the operations that are already started on the workstation, by using the STARTED OPERATIONS field.
A status change on a virtual destination might cause a change in the global status of the virtual workstation it refers to.
Use this panel to make the virtual destination unavailable. You can set the global status to:- Offline
- All the destinations are offline, meaning that communication is lost between the controller and the tracker on the system that the destination represents.
- Failed
- All the destinations are in failed status, meaning that the operating system detected a failure on the system that the destination represents.
- Active
- At least one destination is active.
- Inactive
- Some destinations are offline and others are in failed status.
Note: When you enter the END command on this panel, the status change is effective immediately, even if you enter the CANCEL command on the EQQMWSRV panel.To modify open time intervals and adjust the destination fixed resources and parallel servers, enter the O command on the EQQMWSRV panel. The following panel is displayed:Figure 4.

If you alter the interval details, the altered interval is never replaced by daily planning extend and re-plan functions. For example, consider the following sequence of events:- You modify the number of parallel servers between 18.00 and 23.59 on 07/06/07 to 25.
- You change the database to close VDEST2 at 20.00 on 07/06/07.
- You extend the plan at 15.00.
