How can I be alerted if a related group of critical processes do not all complete on time?

You can be alerted if a related group of critical processes do not all complete on time.

Use a workflow SLC. Associate a calendar SLC schedule with the workflow with appropriate times for normal end range start (NERs) and normal end range end (NERe).
  1. Within the workflow SLC, define one milestone per critical process.

    The milestones you define must specify parameters to uniquely identify each process.

  2. Each milestone must specify values for duration, and or values for NSRs and NSRe, and or values for NERs and NERe. The choices you make here affect only the additional milestone SLC events that might be generated.
  3. If you know approximately how long each Process in the group must last, 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.
  4. The NSR and NER values are all relative to when the workflow begins. If you specify Milestone Times Relative to Actual Start of Workflow SLC, they are determined by the start of any one of the Processes corresponding to the milestones defined. If you specify Milestone Times Relative to Scheduled Start of Workflow SLC, NSR and NER values are relative to the scheduled start of the workflow. You might want to specify NSR values for one or more of the milestones if you know that other Processes within the workflow must begin within a specified amount of time of the workflow itself starting.
