Set Destination Delays

To access this screen:

Use the Internal Delays screen to set rules that Datamine Task Scheduleruses to insert an internal delay for a selected Stockpile or Dump destination. Datamine Task Scheduler saves these settings against each destination.

An internal delay is a planned delay that Datamine Task Scheduler can add when the time lost at the destination becomes significant.

Activity steps:

  1. Open Destination Settings.

  2. Using the menu on the left, select the Stockpile or Dump destination that you want to configure.

  3. Select the Internal Delays tab.

  4. This screen contains a table with the following columns. A new row is created each time a delay is configured.

    • In Threshold, enter the minimum delay that must occur at this destination before Datamine Task Scheduler inserts an internal delay.

      • If the delay is less than Threshold, DTS does not insert an internal delay.

      • If the delay is equal to, or greater than, Threshold, Datamine Task Scheduler inserts an internal delay.

        Note: Use the same time unit that you use for destination timing values in your schedule.

      • In Generate Task, select the task batch that contains the internal delay task that DTS must use. These were created on the Generate Work Packages/Tasks screen.

      • In Insert Delay, enter the delay value that DTS must insert when the Threshold is met or exceeded.

  5. To add another delay for the same destination, press <ENTER>.

  6. Click OK to update your schedule settings.

  7. Save your changes.
