Running work on request

You can add work to the plan on request using the MODIFYING CURRENT PLAN panel. Before you can add an application occurrence to the plan, however, a description of the application must exist in the application description database.

If your installation frequently adds work to the plan that does not have an application description defined for it, consider using this method:
  1. Create dummy model applications that match the work most commonly added. The simplest model application consists of one computer workstation operation. The job names in these model applications should be dummy names indicating that they are only models.
    Note: Do not specify run cycles for these applications; if you do, HCL Workload Automation for Z automatically adds occurrences for these applications to the long-term plan and current plan.
  2. When you must add work to the plan, select the model application that best corresponds to the work you want to add using the method described in Adding occurrences to the current plan. Change the operation details to match those of the work that you want to add. For example, you can change the job name, workstation name, and input arrival times for the operations. You can also add or delete operations, external dependencies, and internal dependencies.
