Dynamic Critical Path DCP

Provide a parameter to desensitize the triggering of EQQP23I Potential Risk Alert

Current functionality: Potential risk alerts trigger when a job on the critical network is late, or on abend even if the critical jobs deadline time is many hours in the future.

I appreciate that if a job in the critical network leading to a critical job abends there is potential that the critical job may be delayed. But what I observe is that a job in the critical network would abend several hours before the critical job deadline time causing the potential risk alert. Given most abends are resolved in under 30 minutes in our shop, I would like to be able to desensitize the alert possibly based on amount slack time to the end point.

Perhaps a parameter that would take into account slack time in the critical network before the critical job is delayed. One way would be by percentage: Suppress the alert until 20% of the slack time has elapsed. Another would be by an absolute value. If slack time > 3 hours suppress the alert.

    This requirement is valid but low priority and not in plan in the near future. We close it for now, you may re-open it if still needed.
