In Process AnalyticsAn Automic graphical analysis tool that displays the activities, statistical data and forecast data per Automation Engine system client in a bar diagram and that can be used to calculate the critical path. [Formerly called "ClearView," "Graphical Workload Analyzer," or "JobMonitoringStudio (JMS)."], you can quickly retrieve the information about the time at which a parentThere are different ways of activating objects. The originator of an activation is referred to as the superordinate task (parent). See also: Child; Children objectAutomation Engine controlled activities and processes are structured in the form of objects. See also: Task will finish and the sub-tasks that may cause delays. The critical path displays all this information. A critical path is the longest sequence of tasks in a parent object. Therefore, this sequence complies with the parent object's runtimeThe duration of a task's execution. It refers to the period between a task's start and end. It does not include its activation period (see also: activation and start)..
No detail view is available for long running parent objects (such as Schedules) because they are not shown in the Gantt Chart.
To show the critical path, you can call the corresponding command in the detail window's toolbar. The taskAn executable object that is running. Tasks are also referred to as activities. chain that represents the critical path is displayed in purple.
A parent object can have several critical paths if several task chains affect the total duration in the same way. This means that a delay in each of these paths increases the parent task's runtime.
For example: A workflowAn object of the Automation Engine that can include several executable objects and which runs them in a specified order. [Formerly called "ProcessFlow" and "JobPlan."] that includes two identical parallel branches.
The critical path of scheduled parent objects depends on the particular active forecastEstimates a task's runtime on the basis of previous executions. mode and on the expected runtime of the tasks.
You can change the forecast mode in the detail window's toolbar. The selected mode refers only to the particular detail window. It does not affect other windows or views and does not depend on their settings.
The following illustrations explain a forecasted workflow. Realistic Forecasts has been specified in the first example:
The second illustration shows a detail window including the critical path in the forecast mode Pessimistic Forecasts:
