Specifying the default workstation transport time

The transport time for an operation is the time that the system should allow between the end of a predecessor operation and the beginning of the present operation. This is the time needed for materials to be transported from one workstation to another.

For example, a tape might be written by operation A in New York and be required by operation B in Chicago. Both sites are controlled by HCL Workload Automation for Z. The transport time of operation B is the time that should be allowed for the tape to be transported from New York to Chicago.

The transport time of the workstation is the default transport time for all operations defined on that workstation. You can override this by specifying a transport time when you create an operation.
