IJ25030: IN GRAPHICAL SCHEDULING MILESTONES THAT ARE INTERRUPTIBLE GET STUCK WHEN MOVED TO A WEEKEND

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In Graphical Scheduling (GS) when an Interruptible Milestone (
  the symbol used on the Gantt for a zero duration work order or
  task) ,
  either a work order or task, is moved  beyond the last work day
  of
  the work week on a 5 day work week, it changes from a diamond to
  a bar and is no longer moveable by dragging or using Move to
  Next Day.
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  1. Create a new work order.  Leave duration at zero and check
  Interruptible.
  2. Go to GS.
  3. Create a new schedule with DAY Calendar, DAY Shift (extend
  the calendar and apply shifts until at least the end of this
  year if necessary).
  4. Set the Start Date to be a date in the middle of the next
  week, such as Wednesday, May 27 and the End Date to be a month
  after that.
  5. Create a Work Query to select the new work order.
  6. Save.
  7. Click on the Graphical View tab.
  8. Click on Perform CPM for All or move the work order to the
  Start Date of the Schedule manually.
  9. Click on the diamond representing the work order and drag it
  to the next day.  Since it is Interruptible it will not allow
  you to place it in the grey non-working time.
  10. Right click on the diamond and select Move to Next Day.
  This will allow you to move to the next day.
  11. When the diamond is on a Friday right, click and use Move to
  Next Day.
  RESULTS:
  The diamond will change to a bar with a Start Date of the
  end of the day on Friday, 3pm, and an End Date of the start of
  the day on Monday, 7am.   The duration still appears as zero.
  At this point you can no longer drag the work order to a
  different day or use right click Move to Next Day.
  You will be able to right click and use Move to Day but it will
  remain as a bar spanning the non-working time and will not be
  movable to another time.
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
  When you use Move to Next Day on the diamond when it is on
  a Friday, it should jump to the next working day as a diamond,
  so it will move to Monday in this example.
