Ordering Balancing Missions

The Mission Definition screen is used to define Balancing Mission parameters and scheduling criteria. This definition becomes "active" only after it is ordered. The mission can be ordered automatically each day, as described in Chapter 6, "Mission Definition Parameters," or manually. One of the ways to manually order one or more missions is by using the O and F options of the Mission or Category List screens.

The options can be activated from:

The options described in Table 72 can be used to order a mission.

Table 72 Options for Ordering a Mission

Option

Description

O (ORDER)

Schedule the categories of the mission only if the specified date is defined as a scheduling date in the Basic Scheduling parameters of the category.

F (FORCE)

Schedule the categories of the mission regardless of Basic Scheduling parameters.

When you use the O and F options, the confirmation window illustrated in Figure 64 is opened.

You can change the specified date. To affirm your selection, enter Y in the CONFIRM field. If you decide not to order the mission or category, enter N (for CANCEL). You then return to the original screen.

If you specify many O or F options in a screen, it may be tedious to affirm each one. To skip the Confirmation window, type N in the ASK FOR EACH ONE field and press Enter. All the missions or categories marked O or F are ordered without individual confirmation.

Each mission that is successfully scheduled (ordered) is displayed on the screen illustrated in Figure 65.
