Recreating the current plan

You can use the REPLAN option of the DAILY PLANNING menu to update your existing current plan. This option performs the same functions as the EXTEND option, except that the current plan continues to cover the same time interval as before. No new occurrences can be included in the current plan by a REPLAN. This is because HCL Workload Automation for Z does not let you add to the long-term plan any occurrences that have an input arrival time before, or within, the period covered by the current plan.

Planned start and end times and the latest out time are recalculated when a REPLAN is performed. Any changes in workstation resources or open intervals are also considered. The application database is not used by the REPLAN process to determine the structure of the occurrences; they are copied directly from the old current plan. When the list of occurrences is determined, the application database is used to generate potential predecessor records for every occurrence.

When you REPLAN the current plan, you have the option of producing a report on the contents of the plan. See Producing reports using daily planning for details.
