Creating Parameter Sets for Schedules

Parameter sets contain key information that determines how the ABS and Optimizer operate. Parameter sets are associated with service regions in the Service Region List view of the Administration - Scheduling screen. Each service region uses a parameter set. For more information, see Defining Service Regions.

If the scheduling server starts without Optimizer or ABS parameters, then the service region is not loaded for the Optimizer or the ABS. The log files (Optimizer_xxx.log and ApptBook_xxx.log) in the log directory on the Siebel Server specify the missing parameters.

Note: If a service region fails to load, then you must restart the ABS or Optimizer. You do not have to reboot the computer.

The Parameter Sets view includes the basic definition of the parameters that the ABS and the Optimizer use. The Parameters view includes each parameter in a parameter set.

This task is a step in Process of Administering Schedules Using Siebel Scheduler.

To create the parameter set for a schedule

1. Navigate to the Administration - Scheduling screen, then the Parameter Sets view.

2. Create a new parameter set record, and complete the fields as appropriate.

   Enter a meaningful name for the parameter set (for example, East Coast Parameters).

3. Scroll down to the Parameters list, create a new parameter record, and complete the fields as appropriate.

   Some fields are described in the following table.

   Field	Comments
   Variable Code	Select the appropriate parameter. For more information about the parameters that you can select, see Parameters for Schedules.
   Variable Value	Type a value for the parameter.

4. To view the service regions that are associated with the parameter set, click the Service Regions view tab.
