Simulate PM Actions
Explanation
Use this activity to simulate the PM actions before
generating them for a selected object. By simulating the PM actions, you can inspect
and adjust the PM actions before they are generated, thereby ensuring that you have the correct combination of PM actions for the standard jobs.
Prerequisites
- A job program and object must have been selected in the
window.
- Defaults values
and settings must have been defined in the
window.
- Separate and route standard jobs must have been entered on the
Separate and/or
Route tabs
of the Add Job Programs to Object window.
System Effects
- A PM action will be simulated for each standard job.
The simulated PM action will receive a six digit number starting from 000001.
- If the Merge on PM check box is selected, a
single PM action will be simulated for similar standard jobs. For more
information on how standard jobs are grouped, please refer to the following
online help document: Add Job Program to Object.
