Threshold Monitor Interval (H90)

Purpose: Use this screen to define how often, in hour intervals, the Threshold Monitor Async submits the Batch Order Control job to update the Order Control Summary table, update the actual values in the Threshold Values table, and monitor for breached thresholds.

Number: Enter the hour interval the Threshold Monitor Async uses to submit the Batch Order Control job.

The system stores the hour interval you define in this system control value for the Threshold Monitor Async in seconds. For example, if you enter 2 in this system control value, indicating the Threshold Monitor Async submits the Batch Order Control job in 2 hour intervals, the system stores the delay interval for the Threshold Monitor Async as 7200 seconds (2 hours x 60 minutes = 120 minutes; 60 seconds x 120 minutes = 7200 seconds).

The Threshold Monitor Async is started and ended when you start or end the Control Async; see Working with the CNTL_ASYNC Job.

Important: The system uses the interval time defined for this system control value for the first company that has a value defined. For example, if company 4 has a 2 hour interval defined and company 555 has a 1 hour interval defined, the system uses the 2 hour interval for both companies.

The Batch Order Control job:

• updates the Order Control Summary table; see Updating Operations and Merchandising Summary Totals.

• updates the actual values in the Threshold Values table and monitors for breached thresholds; see Updating Threshold Actual Values.

The system does not automatically run the Batch Order Control job for any company that does not have a value defined in this system control value.

Leave this field blank if you do not want to define an interval when the Batch Order Control job is automatically submitted by the Threshold Async.

You can submit the Batch Order Control job manually by:

• selecting Update current totals in the Reviewing Operations Control Summary (FLSH) menu option.

• submitting a periodic process that includes the Order Summary (ORDSUM) periodic function (program name PFR0062).
