• The Daily Plan is used to manage start times for Orders that are executed by the Workflows available with the connected Controllers. 
• The Daily Plan runs existing JS7 - Schedules and generates Orders for the resulting days and start times. This applies to Schedules that specify a single start time for an Order and to Schedules that specify cyclic starts. For each start time in a cycle an individual Order is created. Planned Orders are available for any modification of start times and variables. In a subsequent step such Orders are submitted to the their respective Controllers. 
• This functionality is available for automation with the JS7 - Daily Plan Service. In addition, JOC Cockpit offers a user interface to manage the Daily Plan, to create Orders and to submit Orders to Controllers.

...

• Calendar Panel: The calendar panel allows navigation to a specific date to display the Daily Plan.
  • The panel shows the list of Submissions, i.e. the points in time when Orders have been created for the selected date.
• Detail Panel: The detail panel displays the Orders available for a selected date.
  • Filters are available to limit the list of Orders to the given order state. In addition, late Orders can be filtered to find Orders that have over-run their start time.
  • Groupings are available to display Orders per Schedule or per Workflow.

Depending on the run-time specification of a Schedule, an Order is created for one-off execution or for cyclic execution. Cyclic Orders include that for the given period for each interval an individual Order is created for each interval in the given period , e.g. for a cycle to start starting a Workflow every 5 minutes between 10am and 11am, this would be 12 Orders. The Daily Plan View - as with every other view except for the History - displays Cyclic Orders as a single Order with the cycle icon . When modifying the start time or variables of a Cyclic Order then this change is applied to any Orders included with the Cyclic Order. The History View displays Cyclic Orders individually to enable access to the order state and log for each Order included with the cycle.

Create Daily Plan

The functionality to create for creating a Daily Plan is offered provided by the calendar panel of the Daily Plan View. It allows the creation of Orders and optionally the submission of Orders to Controllers.

...

• The Daily Plan can be created for any released Schedules and it can be limited to a selection of Schedules.
• If a Daily Plan previously has already been created for the same date then existing Orders can be considered or can be overwritten.
• Creating a Daily Plan includes two steps:
  • Plan Orders
    • The planning step includes creating Orders from Schedules and making them available with the PLANNED state. Such Orders are visible with the Daily Plan View for a given date.
  • Submit Orders
    • The Submission step includes forwarding Orders to any Controllers which the underlying Workflow has been deployed to.
• Users can decide if they want Orders to be immediately submitted to a Controller immediately. Should If Orders are not be submitted immediately then this can be done later on from the Daily Plan View. Note that the Daily Plan Service will automatically submit planned Orders for a number of days ahead within the scope of its configuration.

...

The Daily Plan View offers a number of operations on Orders that partially are in part available as bulk operations. Availability The availability of operations depends on the state of selected Orders.

Operations to Submit, to Cancel and to Remove Orders

• The operation operations to submit and to remove Orders from the Daily Plan can be performed for Orders in a PLANNED state. 
  
  • Removal from the Daily Plan includes that such Orders do not exist any longer. The Daily Plan Service considers takes account of the removal of Orders and will not re-create the respective removed Orders.
• The operation to cancel Orders can be performed for any order state except for the PLANNED state and the FINISHED statestates.

Operations to Suspend and to Resume Orders

...

Both operations to modify Order start times and to modify Order Variables include dropping existing Orders and re-creating them with a new Order ID.

Modify Start Times

The This operation allows specification of a new date and time for the execution of the Order. The Order will be added to the Daily Plan for this the new date respectively.

Modify Variables

JS7 - Order Variables can be declared per Workflow. When modifying variables then values have to be indicated for required variables. In addition, optional variables can be added or removed.

...

The Daily Plan holds the history of Submissions, i.e. the information about when Orders have been submitted to Controllers and the successful/failed result of this operation.

...

• This view allows selection of Submissions for a range of Daily Plan dates. 
  • Consider Note that the Submission date is the point in time when an Order has been submitted. The Daily Plan date is the point in time that the Order is scheduled for.
  • Filtering is available for the Submission status being successful or failed.
• For each Daily Plan date a number of Submissions can be available if the Daily Plan has been re-created for the date in question.
• Each Submission includes the Orders that are affected by the underlying operation.
• Note that as with any history view, the information displayed can be focused on the currently selected Controller or can include information from any connected Controllers.

...

In this scenario the user does not want to interact with the Daily Plan. Instead, instead, all order management is performed by the Daily Plan Service.

...

If a workflow is modified and deployed to a Controller then this will create a new version of the workflow. This change The modified workflow is not applied to existing Orders that have been created for a previous version of the workflow.

• This offers allows to apply changes workflows to workflows be applied for new Orders only, giving the user full control about the date starting from which a modified workflow should be applied.
• This forces the user to drop Orders from the Daily Plan should if workflow modifications are to be applied earlier than to Orders exist already existing in the Daily Plan.

This use case suggests that the user makes use of the Advanced Search in the Daily Plan View to identify Orders associated with the modified workflow for a given date range and to cancel the resulting Orders.

...

• either the underlying Schedules are configured to allow the Daily Plan Service to plan and to submit Orders automatically. Then no further action is required from the user.
• or the user does not want to make use of the automation capabilities and manually creates Orders for each date.
• If the modified workflow has to be applied to the current day then it is required necessary for Orders to manually be re-create Orderscreated manually.
