Specifying the default duration

The duration specified for the workstation is the default estimated processing time for all operations on that workstation. You can override this by specifying a duration when you create an operation. The minimum value is one second, and the maximum value is 99 hours 59 minutes 00 seconds. If you specify 99 hours 59 minutes 01 seconds, you do not receive an alert message if the actual duration is greater than the planned duration.

It is not necessary to give an accurate figure, because HCL Workload Automation for Z can adjust this figure dynamically from its experience of the actual durations (for details, see Options that apply to all operations).
