Resources

• Resource: user-defined value consisting of name and numeric limit

• Resources are used to manage and limit the number of concurrently running Jobs across Schedules and Machines in OpCon

• Max Concurrent Jobs in Advanced Machine Properties limits the number of concurrently running Jobs on a specific Machine

  • All Resources can be set for Dependencies
  • SAM is responsible for keeping track of Resources in use

Note

If all Resources are in use, SAM waits until a Resource is available before submitting the next Job
