How can I be alerted if one or more related processes do not start or complete on time?

You can be alerted if one or more related processes do not start or complete on time.

Use a workflow SLC with one milestone for each critical process. Associate a calendar SLC schedule.
  1. Use a workflow SLC.
  2. Associate a calendar SLC schedule with the workflow with appropriate times for NSRs, NSRe, NERs, and NERe.
  3. Within the workflow SLC, define one milestone per critical Process. The milestones you define must specify parameters to uniquely identify each Process.
  4. Each milestone must specify values for duration, and or values for NSRs and NSRe, and or values for NERs and NERe. These choices affect only the additional milestone SLC events that might be generated.
  5. If you know approximately how long each Process in the group lasts, specify dMin and dMax values for each milestone. Milestone SLC events are generated if the Processes run shorter than the dMin value specified, or if they run longer than the dMax value specified.
  6. If you select Milestone Times Relative to Actual Start of Workflow SLC when setting up the workflow, the NSR and NER values for milestones are relative to when the workflow begins. The workflow begins when any of the Processes corresponding to the milestones start of the workflow.
  7. If you select Milestone Times Relative to Scheduled Start of Workflow SLC when setting up the workflow, the NSR and NER values specified for milestones are relative to the scheduled start time of the workflow (its NSRs value in the schedule assigned to it).
  8. If you know that other Processes within the workflow begin within a specified amount of time of the workflow itself starting, you might want to specify NSR values for one or more of the milestones.
