Querying application occurrences
When you select option 1 (APPLICATIONS), HCL Workload Automation for Z displays a filtering panel where you can specify the selection criteria that determines the applications displayed. For example, you can list only those applications that are not complete, or applications added by the ETT function. If the selection fields are left blank, all application occurrences in the plan in status W, S, C, E, or U will be displayed. Deleted applications are displayed only when you specifically request applications in D status.

Group Definition : DAILYOPCFrom this panel you can request detailed information about the occurrence, the operations defined in the occurrence, or the external dependencies established with the occurrence.
From the CURRENT PLAN AND STATUS INQUIRY panel, select option 2 MOST CRITICAL to display a list of uncompleted occurrences sorted by the latest start time.
The latest start time is the latest time that the operation can start in order to meet the deadline. This calculation considers the operation deadline, estimated duration, resource requirements, and successor processing. When HCL Workload Automation for Z creates the current plan, it calculates the latest start time for all the operations in a chain of dependencies, starting with the last one.
The occurrences that missed or will miss the defined deadline time are at the top of the list, as shown in EQQSMC1L - Browsing most critical occurrences.

You can scroll the list displayed by HCL Workload Automation for Z from left to right. You can switch between them by entering the left/right scroll commands.
If the workstation name contains **** and
the
displayed job name contains ******** when you scroll
right, the critical path in the occurrence is complete but uncompleted
operations still exist. A new
critical path is calculated for this occurrence if it is still uncompleted
when the next daily plan extend or replan is run.
The shift supervisor and HCL Workload Automation for Z administrator often use this list to measure how well the production work is progressing relative to the agreed service levels.
