Command ===>

Enter the DEP command above to verify automatic dependency resolution, or
enter the OPER command to modify operations.

Note: If you are using the advanced panels, you can also add occurrences by selecting Add in the Action menu of the OPERATIONS IN THE CURRENT PLAN panel. For more information, see List of administrative tasks available from the Action menu.

Note: If the added application has a run cycle defined, the input arrival and deadline time is taken from the first run cycle description. If you try to add an application with the same date and time as another occurrence of the same application already in the plan (even if deleted or completed), HCL Workload Automation for Z rejects it. If you mean to do this, change the time by one minute until the added occurrence is unique. But be careful if you want HCL Workload Automation for Z to resolve external dependencies: external dependencies can depend on the input arrival time of the added occurrence. For example, if application B depends on application A, what happens if you add an extra occurrence of A and B? When you add A, you must give its occurrence a different input arrival time to the regular occurrence. When you add B, you give its occurrence the same or later input arrival time, and it should become dependent on the added occurrence of A, because that is the closest occurrence with an equal or earlier input arrival time. See Including dependencies defined in the database for a description of how dependencies are resolved when there are several candidates. But you can have problems if the operations in A and B have explicit input arrival times: these are not affected by the occurrence input arrival time that you specify on the ADDING AN APPLICATION TO THE CURRENT PLAN panel, and you should alter these dependencies manually. For details, see Changing external dependencies to an occurrence.
