Simulate PM Actions

Explanation

Use this activity to simulate the PM actions before generating them for a selected object. By simulating the PM actions, you can inspect and adjust the PM actions before they are generated, thereby ensuring that you have the correct combination of PM actions for the standard jobs.

Prerequisites

• A job program and object must have been selected in the window.
• Defaults values and settings must have been defined in the window.
• Separate and route standard jobs must have been entered on the Separate and/or Route tabs of the Add Job Programs to Object window.

System Effects

• A PM action will be simulated for each standard job. The simulated PM action will receive a six digit number starting from 000001.
• If the Merge on PM check box is selected, a single PM action will be simulated for similar standard jobs. For more information on how standard jobs are grouped, please refer to the following online help document: Add Job Program to Object.
