Types of Delays

AAI can identify the following types of delays during jobstream execution related to the SLAs:

Finish/Start delay

Amount of time that lapses between the completion of a job, when all job conditions have been met, and the start of the next job. This delay indicates a system latency.
Start/Running delay

Amount of time that lapses between the activation of the job in the scheduler and the time of submission to the system. This delay indicates a possible latency in the scheduler or its hosting server. This can be caused by performance or processing capacity issues.
Operational delay

Delays caused by errors, restarts and human intervention. For example, a job fails to execute, an operator restarts it 30 minutes later, the operational delay is 30 minutes.
Design delay

Delays caused by flawed job design. For example, a predecessor job ends at 8 am and the job owner manually sets the critical path job to start at 9 am. This means that the jobstream will have a one hour design delay.
Resource wait time

Executions are held back while waiting for virtual resources to have enough capacity to execute the job.
Unexpected delay

Any sort of delay that does not fall in the previous categories.
