• Fixed start and end date
• Permanent Session
4. Specify the Date/Time Options in Days, Hours, and Minutes.
5. Click Next.
The next Scheduling Template dialog box displays, where you can now create sessions on behalf of
other users.
Note Only the administrator and current owner can change the ownership. This field is
read-only if you are not the administrator user.
6. Click Next.
Note You can adjust the Scheduler session and security properties. See the Preferences—Scheduler page
for advanced scheduler options (click Window > Preferences > Scheduler > Advanced
Scheduling).
Note You can adjust the scheduling behavior based on user preferences. See the Preferences—Scheduler
page for scheduler options (click Window > Preferences > Scheduler). The Scheduler can
automatically perform extra scheduling when no solutions are reported, including identify
preemption or running ASAP Scheduling.
The scheduler has identified a set of solutions (see Figure 12-18).
If no solutions are reported, the wizard displays an error page with a high-level error message and a
complete set of logs. Click Back to change your setting request.
Solutions should appear; however, if not, the Scheduler logs are displayed. The number of causes may
result in the Active System Manager software being unable to find any suitable times to schedule your
session. For example, the resources in your Template may not be available during the time window you
requested, or the time window you entered may be too short for the time slot length that you requested.
One of the following, possible responses are available at this time:
• If the request can be satisfied, you see a list of session time options.
• If a non-preemptive request cannot be satisfied, you will be prompted.
If other sessions conflict with a preemptive request, a list of possible sessions display using resources
already assigned to other sessions.
