You can launch multiple runs with the same set of data using different parameters for each run. These multiple runs let you compare the results of specific parameter changes, and select a run to publish that best meets your airline’s goals and your crewmembers’ work preferences.
To launch a run:
Switch to the Run Manager tab.
Switch to the Scheduler tab, if it isn’t currently displayed.
Make sure that the bid period is correct.
The bid period is automatically set to the active bid period. If you need to work with another bid period, you can change the bid period using the dropdown list at the top of the Run Manager tab.
Select the template you want to base the run on.
Click the Launch Run button.
The Add Run to Queue screen opens.Select an option from the Run Type dropdown.
Select an option from the Template dropdown.
Select an option from the Group (category) dropdown.
Enter a name for your run. The N-PBS Scheduler displays the run parameters.
Note: You can use any character in a run name, except slash (/) and backslash (\).
Make any appropriate modifications to the parameters before launching the run.
Click the Save button to launch the run.
The N-PBS Scheduler adds the run to the Queued Runs pane and launches the run as soon as system resources are available. The N-PBS Scheduler displays the status of the run as it progresses.
When the run is complete, it is removed from the queue and appears on the Completed tab.
Notes:
The parent run list only appears if the category requires a parent. If you set a parent for the category, you need to select a queued or completed parent run to use with this run. Make sure you’ve launched the necessary parent runs before launching a run that requires a parent.
The N-PBS Scheduler won’t launch a run until all of the parent runs for it are complete. The queue status indicates that the run is waiting for a parent run to be completed.
The N-PBS Scheduler checks to make sure that you’ve selected a category for the run, and won’t let you launch the run until a category is selected.
