Adjust and Verify Background Job for Calculations of Fault Deferrals

Explanation

This activity is used to verify the calculated task dates as to when deferred faults are run after they have been approved. You can also use this activity to adjust the execution time of the background job (For more information, refer the online help file: Using Background Jobs). At installation, the server process for due calculations for deferred faults is set (by default) to execute each day at 8:00 P.M. The background job can also be executed manually for a specific fault.

Prerequisites

• You must have access to the product model.
