How to set to W the status of an operation with predecessors in X status
You might want to modify how the X (Suppressed by condition) status
is managed, for example, by allowing the status of the successor to
become W (Wait) if the status of the predecessor is X. An example of how to set to W the status
of an operation with predecessors in X status shows how you do this:
This example uses as conditional successor a non-existing NOJOB
operation so that, when the scheduler tries to run, it fails and the
NOJOB operation status is set to E (Ended-in-error).
- JOB2 condition is true because JOB1 status is X. NOJOB can start.
- NOJOB status is set to E because the operation does not exist in the database.
- JOB2 status is set to W.
Note: To accomplish the same result, avoiding to collect
an error message because of the non-existing job, you can use a General
Completion Only workstation.
