Extending the Daily Plan

TWS Automation does not call EQQUX007 for time-delay operations added at daily planning. To provide time-delay operations added at daily planning, you need to define an operation on a dummy workstation as a predecessor to the NVxx workstation.

The operation on that workstation completes immediately after the daily plan is extended, and the operation on the NetView workstation is READY when all of its other dependencies are satisfied. See Handling Time Dependencies for more information and an example of this technique.

Defining an operation on a dummy workstation is required because the operation-status-change exit is called whenever an operation in the current plan changes status. That exit is also called when a new operation has been added to the current plan by a function other than daily planning jobs, for example, by PIF or by the MCP dialog. The exit is called when the operation is added either to an existing occurrence or as a result of a new occurrence being added to the current plan.
