Viewing optimization processes and results

To understand the impact of optimization models, you can view the progress of completed, scheduled, or ongoing optimization processes, and you can view the optimization results.

Viewing optimization processes

To view the progress of completed, scheduled, or ongoing optimization processes, go to the More Actions menu for the application and select one of the options.

  • To see optimization processes that are running, select View Optimization Processes. You can see the status of each process, and how long it took to complete. You can also see an optimization summary, a conflict report for failed optimizations, and a list of records that were not optimized or assigned. These records appear in the Gantt view in red at the end of the scheduled dates. (You can set a system property to move the records to the beginning of the schedule instead.)
  • To view optimization processes that are scheduled to run but not running currently, select View Scheduled Optimization Processes.
  • To see a log of current optimization processes, select View Optimization Progress.
  • For scheduling optimization, the View Optimization Progress window displays key performance indicator (KPI) information. You can stop the optimization process by clicking Terminate.
