Input Networks

All input network activities are placed in the preprocess queue for control and tracking. Either of two events can cause the scheduling of workstation activity:

Each workstation task and its associated network are assigned a unique CA WA CA 7 Edition reference number when the network is placed in the preprocess queue. The unique reference number must be used by each workstation, except the first in the network, to log the start and completion of work.

Workstations within a network must log in and log out in the workstation sequence defined to CA WA CA 7 Edition. Only one workstation at a time can be logged in for a given network. A single workstation can be logged in for more than one network at a time. Each workstation must log in before it can log out. A workstation can not log in until the preceding workstation in the network has logged out.

A workstation can be prompted for an activity that has already completed if CA WA CA 7 Edition was not properly notified of the completion. In response to the prompt, LOGIN and LOGOUT commands should be used to notify CA WA CA 7 Edition of task completion. You can use the IN command instead of LOGIN. You can use the IO command to log in and log out with a single command.

If the same station is defined in the network more than once, the LOGIN and LOGOUT commands should not be used.
