How to set to W the status of an operation with predecessors in X status

You might want to modify how the X (Suppressed by condition) status is managed, for example, by allowing the status of the successor to become W (Wait) if the status of the predecessor is X. An example of how to set to W the status of an operation with predecessors in X status shows how you do this:

The graphic shows an example of how to set to W the status of an operation with predecessors in X status

This example uses as conditional successor a non-existing NOJOB operation so that, when the scheduler tries to run, it fails and the NOJOB operation status is set to E (Ended-in-error).
  • JOB2 condition is true because JOB1 status is X. NOJOB can start.
  • NOJOB status is set to E because the operation does not exist in the database.
  • JOB2 status is set to W.
Note: To accomplish the same result, avoiding to collect an error message because of the non-existing job, you can use a General Completion Only workstation.
