The
Visit Planner cannot be run if the visit has not yet been processed
in the
Orbit Planner. Prior to submission, both the
Orbit and
Visit Planners will need to have been run on the entire proposal.
Before initiating the
Visit Planner, select the visit or
visits you wish to process; selecting the
"Visits" container
will process all visits in the proposal. Note that, to properly
determine the schedulability of a visit, all visits that are
linked to that visit (e.g. with a GROUP WITHIN) should be processed
at the same time. Therefore, selecting one visit from a linked
set will result in ALL linked visits being processed.
When the
Visit Planner is initialized, all selected visits appear with
a
,
which indicates that the display is out of date with
what is in the proposal (similar to the red title of the
Orbit
Planner). If the visit has never been processed, the display states
that schedulability of the visit has not yet been computed. Note
that the there is a processing status line, which gives the
status of the
Visit Planner.
A
indicates the visit is schedulable.
A visit which is schedulable can still have diagnostics (in the
Tree Editor), while an unschedulable visit is indicated by a
(and has no total visibility).
By opening the key on an unschedulable visit, you can see which constraint,
or combination of constraints, is causing the visit to be unschedulable.
