Manage exceptions

Overview

Exceptions are conflicts that might arise due to overlapping job allocations, resources, region, location, etc.

The Exception Console is a central location where all existing exceptions for the ongoing and future jobs are listed. This console provides a platform for schedulers to view, edit, and resolve scheduling exceptions regarding work records.

The Exception Console increases the visibility of time-critical issues and helps in the early detection of job conflicts so that schedulers can respond to and resolve them promptly. It facilitates the schedulers in maximizing the successful job completion rate while minimizing resource and job conflicts.

Accessing Exception Console

To access the Exception Console, navigate to the More tab and select Exception Console.

The Scheduling Exceptions page opens which lists all the exceptions along with their Description, Exception Type, Start Time, End Time.
