ASO Global Events in a Scenario

About Global Events in a Scenario

A Global Event is an optional component of a Scenario that groups together Actions requiring a shutdown so that they will be performed at the same time, thereby maximizing availability. Global Events may be either date-driven or Action-driven.

A Global Event is an optional component of an Asset Strategy Optimization Scenario that groups together Actions requiring a system shutdown so that they will be performed at the same time, thereby maximizing the availability of the system.

When you create a Global Event, you select Actions that may be rescheduled and performed as part of the Global Event. The execution of the selected Actions is called a Global Event. To be performed with the Global Event, Actions must occur during the time period defined by the Max Delay and Max Advance values in the System Global Event record. Actions assigned to the Global Event that are performed outside of this time period will not be included in the Global Event, and their occurrence is not affected by the occurrence of the Global Event. The next occurrence of any recurring Actions that have been rescheduled and performed as part of a Global Event will be performed according to the values in the Interval and Interval Units fields in the Asset Strategy Optimization Action record.
