Runtime Tab

The Runtime tab can be used to monitor the runtime of a task in a Schedule object. It is possible to monitor the maximum and/or minimum runtime of this task and to react to deviations.

The possible settings largely correspond to those made in the object's Runtime tab.

Example:
The above example allows a minimum runtime of two hours for this task in the Schedule object. If this time cannot be kept, the night shift will be informed with an object of the same name. The maximum runtime is not monitored. Possible settings for runtime monitoring which has been specified in the task itself are not considered.

Description

Field/Control	Description
Use MRT/SRT settings of the task	Settings for runtime monitoring are taken from the object. If this check box is not activated, you can define your runtime monitoring settings for the task in this window. The task settings specified in the workflow override those defined in the object itself.
Maximum runtime (MRT)
None	The maximum runtime is not monitored.
Fixed value	The maximum runtime is monitored. Time is specified as a fixed value in the format "hours:minutes:seconds". An action can be specified for the case that the maximum runtime is exceeded (refer to Else section).
ERT	The maximum runtime is monitored. The estimated runtime (ERT)for this task is used as the maximum runtime. Refer to the Else section to specify what should happen if the maximum runtime has been exceeded.
+ ... %	When selecting ERT as the maximum runtime, you can also specify a correction value in percent. The calculated value will then be added to the estimated runtime.
Curr. date + day(s) Time	The maximum runtime is monitored. Examples: 0 days = the day of task activation A point in time is set when the task should have finished. The number of days is counted from the task's activation onwards. 2 days = two days after task activation Allowed values: 0 - 99 Refer to the Else section to specify what should happen if the maximum runtime has been exceeded.
TimeZone	TimeZone that should be used.
Minimum runtime (SRT)
None	The minimum runtime is not monitored.
Fixed value	The minimum runtime is monitored. The minimum runtime is used as a fixed value in the format "hours:minutes:seconds". Refer to the Else section to specify what should happen if the minimum runtime has been exceeded.
ERT	The minimum runtime is monitored. The estimated runtime of the task is used as its minimum runtime. Refer to the Else section to specify what should happen if the actual runtime is shorter than the minimum runtime.
- ... %	When selecting ERT as the minimum runtime, you can additionally specify a correction value in percent. The calculated value will then be subtracted from the estimated runtime.
Else
Cancel / Quit	If this check box is activated, the task will be canceled or ended when its runtime is above the expected value. Only available when the maximum runtime is being monitored.
Execute	Object that should start if the runtime is above or below the expected value. Enter the name of the object or select it directly from a small Explorer (refer to the three dots to call it.

In the example shown above, the Schedule object neither checks the maximum nor the minimum runtime.

Display in the Schedule Object and its Monitor

A "T" is displayed in the graphical display when the Runtime tab is used.
