deadline
Specifies the time within which a job or job stream must complete. Jobs or job streams that have not yet started or that are still running when the deadline time is reached, are considered late in the plan. When a job (or job stream) is late, the following actions are performed:
- Job is shown as late in conman.
- A message is issued to the stdlist and console logs.
When a job does not complete before its deadline, a warning message
is displayed. If this job is not part of a carried forward job stream and you run
JnextPlan while it is still running, the job is inserted in
USERJOBS. In this case, another warning message about the expired deadline is added
in the TWS_home/stdlist/logs/yyyymmdd_TWSMERGE.log
file.
localopts configuration file on the workstation you are working
on. You can define the bm check deadline option on each
workstation on which you want to be aware of the deadline expiration, or, if you
want to obtain up-to-date information about the whole environment, define the option
on the master domain manager.
Deadlines for critical jobs are evaluated automatically, independently of the bm
check deadline option. For more information about the bm check deadline option, see Setting local options.
