IJ25671: SCHEDULE SHOWS GAPS IN CRAFT AVAILABILITY EVEN THOUGH WORK PERIOD EXISTS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Problem Summary:
  In the Graphical Scheduler application, there are gaps in the
  Craft availability, even though a work period exists. This is
  caused by an issue in the API.
  
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Go to Calendar Application and Create a Calendar called Main
  2. Within Calendar Main, add 5 ELFT shifts;
  ELFT - A
  ELFT - B
  ELFT - C
  ELFT - D
  ELFT - E
  3. Click Define/Apply shift option, then Create the Shift
  Pattern for each Shift above. They are all identical, except
  for their start dates
  4. Click Apply Shifts then click to apply shifts to selected
  dates button then enter the  start dates for each shift as
  below;
  ELFT - A  03 Feb 2020
  ELFT - B  13 Jan 2020
  ELFT - C  27 Jan 2020
  ELFT - D  06 Jan 2020
  ELFT - E  20 Jan 2020
  5. Create 5 Labor records, i.e ELFT - A, ELFT - B etc. and
  associate each one to each shift with the same name
  6. Create the Craft Fitter and associate the 5 labor created in
  previous step with this craft
  7. Then Create a simple work order, with the Fitter craft
  associated to it
  8. Then go to Graphical Scheduling and create a schedule with
  this WO associated to it.
  9. Go to Gantt View tab and look at the graph. Resource
  availability shows some gaps, even though there should not be
  any.
  
  
  Current Results:
  There are gaps in the craft availability, where there should
  not be as a work period exists.
  
  
  Expected Results:
  There should be no gaps in the Craft availability.
