Description

It is sometimes necessary to update the schedule with a promise to service a job at a particular date and time, irrespective of the impact on the rest of the schedule. Generally this would be managed via the Gantt - however in some circumstances a programming interface is required. The sp:DVForceFixJobRequest API method allows a specified existing job to be fixed to a date, time and employee.

...

• This API method applies to previously booked jobs only (whether allocated or in the in-tray) - if not true, SP_JOBID_INVALID (1) is returned.
• The employee must have a shift assignment for the full duration of the job - if not true, SP_EMP_NO_SHIFT_ASS (271) is returned.
• The job may only be allocated within the same FRU as it is currently booked (i.e. the employee must be posted to that FRU at the time required) - if not true, SP_OUTSIDE_FRU_POSTING (264) is returned.
• The interface will error if the job requires spares and is not at status SPDS_Tentative - the return value will be SP_SPARES_AND_NOT_TENTATIVE (272).
• Jobs that are already at status LoggedOff or Cleared will generate a return value of SP_JOB_GT_LOGGEDON (275).
