Order Types

JS7 knows the following types of Order types:

  • Orders generated by the the JS7 - Daily Plan
    • Single Orders
    • Cyclic Orders
  • Orders added by users
    • Ad Hoc Orders
  • Orders added by File Order Sourcesfrom JS7 - File Watching
    • File Orders

Single Orders and Ad Hoc Orders are handled similarly with the exception that Ad Hoc Orders are managed from the Workflows View.

Cyclic Orders are created from the JS7 - Daily Plan if a Schedule specifies a cyclic run-time using a repeat interval, e.g. for to execute every 5 minutes between 9am and 11am. Technically for each execution in a cycle an individual order is created. The JOC Cockpit reports a cycle from a single Order only. Cyclic Orders are costly when it comes to resource consumption of larger numbers of orders, e.g. > 50 000. For repeated execution consider to use Cyclic Workflows instead of Cyclic Orders, see JS7 - Cycle Instruction.
