After you have run your application, the Scheduling tab
provides you with the option of displaying your planned schedule together
with actual execution data taken from the execution log file.
This
means you can identify conflicts between your planned schedule and
actual execution of actions, for example, conflicts stemming from
underestimation of the duration of an action.
Procedure
- Open the Features window for the relevant Rational Rhapsody
component, and select the Scheduling tab.
- Click the .. button next to the Show
Execution Log option to open the Execution Log
View Options window. On this window you can specify information
such as the location of the log file and the threshold to use to determine
whether a conflict exists between the planned schedule and the actual
execution of a specific action.
- After closing the Execution Log View Options window,
select the Show Execution Log option. The execution time information will be displayed together
with the planned schedule. The actual execution time is displayed
as a smaller rectangle within the rectangle that represents the scheduled
action. If the actual execution deviates from the planned time, you
will see the inner rectangle extending past the outer rectangle.
- Select the Show Time Conflicts option. Rational Rhapsody displays conflicts between planned and
actual time (using triangular symbols as described in Viewing and modifying action schedule in the scheduling table)
after taking into account the acceptable deviation threshold that
you set in the Execution Log View Options window.
- Based on the comparison of the actual timing information
and your original schedule, make any required scheduling changes by
modifying the values in the top part of the screen, or by dragging
the rectangles representing the scheduled actions in the bottom part
of the screen (see Viewing and modifying action schedule in the scheduling table).
- Click Apply to apply any changes
to your model.
