Controlling Production
Defining a Compile Offset
Agent Running Behind the Master
Setting a negative production day offset moves the start of the production day back from midnight. In the following 
example, there is a negative four hour production offset moving the start of the production day four hours behind the 
start of the calendar day. In the example below, the difference between time zones is shown with a solid arrow and the 
production day offset is shown with a dotted arrow.
Figure 9
Negative Production Day Offset With Agent Running Behind Master
This configuration has an agent that is running five hours behind the master. A job defined to run at 2300 on the 
production day of August 10th is launched by the master at 0300 on August 11th. 
Defining a Compile Offset
Compiling the production schedule may consume enough CPU resources to seriously affect your system’s performance 
and hinder other work that may be going on concurrently. It may be better to schedule such a resource-intensive 
operation like compiling your schedule, at a more convenient time when your system has a lighter workload. Once the 
schedule is compiled, it is saved until needed when the new production day starts. You can manually compile a new 
schedule at any time by selecting the Create Schedule option in the Activities main menu.
Figure 10 Create Schedule Dialog
The compile offset is calculated from the start of the production day. The schedule will be compiled for the current day 
and all days that belong to the future days to include in the schedule. Any future day that was already scheduled (not 
forecast) will not get recompiled to reflect any job modifications or additions that were not committed to the schedule 
after the operation. To include any modifications that were not committed to the schedule, we must either recompile the 
already scheduled days or revert these schedules to a forecast type to force a compile before the day rolls into 
production.
