 Scheduling Mode

You use the settings in the strategy profile and the resource to define how the system behaves during scheduling.

Scheduling Mode: Find Bucket with Free Capacity

You must make the following settings for the system to carry out bucket-oriented scheduling .

  • You are using the scheduling mode Search for Bucket with Free Capacity and define Bucket Capacity as the finite capacity in the strategy profile.

  • You can also define the finite capacity by entering Bucket Capacity as a finite capacity or using the setting As Specified in the Resources . In this case, you must enter B ucket Capacity as the finite capacity for the resource for which you want to carry out a bucket-oriented capacity check.

  • The resources for which Time-Continuous Capacity is defined as the finite capacity are scheduled infinitely with the scheduling mode Search for Bucket with Free Capacity .

Scheduling Mode: Find Gap

The system can also carry out a bucket-oriented capacity check when using the planning strategy Find Gap . The system carries out scheduling as follows, depending on whether the parameter Finite Capacity is set at the resource and in the strategy profile:

  • If you have chosen the setting Bucket Capacity in the Finite Capacity field in the strategy profile, the system carries out a bucket-oriented capacity check for all finite resources with PP/DS bucket capacity. Resources without PP/DS bucket capacity are scheduled infinitely.

  • If you have chosen the setting As Specified in the Resources in the Finite Capacity field in the strategy profile, the system also carries out bucket-oriented capacity scheduling for resources with the finite capacity Bucket Capacity .

  • If you have chosen the setting Time-Continuous Capacity in the Finite Capacity field in the strategy profile, then all affected finite resources are scheduled finitely on a time-continuous basis.
