Editing the Schedule Settings at Runtime

It is possible to modify some of the parameters you have defined for the Schedule object also while it is being executed. Periods and period turnarounds cannot be changed in active Schedules. If you need to change them, you must restart the Schedule.

After defining a Schedule object you probably execute it to check how it works. If you need to modify start times, variable values or dependencies between tasks, you can do so also at runtime after it has been started and as long as it is in generation.

When you modify Schedules or their tasks and save your changes, the system performs validation checks in the background. If a task is active, it prompts you to confirm your changes.

• Click Yes if you want your changes to be applied from the next period turnaround onwards.
• Click No if you want to apply the changes only after restarting the schedule. This must be done manually.

Changes done this way are saved with the Schedule object and are therefore permanent.

To modify settings for only a particular execution of the Schedule you use the Schedule Monitor. See Modifying Active Schedules and Modifying Tasks in an Active Schedule.
