Letting the scheduler assign the next status
Letting HCL Workload Automation for Z assign
the next status is the easier way: enter the
row command N beside the operation whose status is to be changed. The scheduler then
changes the status to the next logical status for that type of workstation:
- For automatic reporting workstations, the order is: A, R, S, C.
- For manual start and completion workstations, the order is: A, R, S, C.
- For completion only workstations, the order is: A, R, C.
- For non-reporting workstations, the order is: A, C.
Sometimes you see operations on a ready list in *(asterisk) status. This means the operation is ready, but one or more predecessors are defined on a non-reporting workstation.
Note the difference between A and R status. Only operations with no predecessors have an A status. Operations that have all predecessors completed progress to R status directly from W status.
