JS-1255 - In a nested job chain for permanent orders it should be possible to assign a specific state from JOC

Known Issue Status

Behavior

• Passed Test Case
  • Starting Situation
    • In a nested job chain an order is wating to be executed.
  • Action
    • Open the JOC, right click on the order and select the order state.
  • Behavior
    • The order can only be assigned to the states of the nested job chain but not to any state of a sub job chain.
• Failed Test Case
  • Starting Situation
    • as above
  • Action
    • Open the JOC, right click on the order and select the order state, try to set the order's state to the state of a sub job chain.
  • Behavior
    • The order cannot be set to the sub job chain's state.
• Explanation
  • A nested job chain includes other job chains as nodes, so for an order submitted to a nested job chain, the state is ideally a sub job chain.
  • In a practical scenario when job chains are organized under nested job chain, then the order's state can be set to one of the sub job chains.

Requirement

• In a nested job chain the order's state can be assigned any state of a sub job chain.

Workaround

• For ad hoc orders, i.e. with option "add order" from JOC, "Select an order state" option is available.  

Resolution

• This behavior will not be fixed. As of now we don't see any real use case where permanent orders of a nested job chain need to be assigned to a specific state in a sub job chain. The workaround can easily be applied by using an ad hoc order that could be assigned any state of a sub job chain.
