14.6 General process of schedule a Job and retrieving results

This section describes the general process of creating a job, processing the job and retrieving its results. The general processing of a job can be roughly divided into the following steps:

A Client (MES) schedules a Job on the TTD by invoking the Store Method on the TTD.

The TTD inserts the Job into its 7:JobOrderList.

At some later point, an Operator at the TTD picks a Job from the 7:JobOrderList and starts it.

The TTD processes the Job (with assistance of the operator) and generates the result(s) for this job.

After results are generated, the TTD informs the MES about new Results with a TTDResultReadyEvent.

The Client (MES) retrieves the new results.

Figure 17 shows this sequence. Following pictures relay on the “Example Job” JobOrder shown in Figure 12.

Figure 18 shows two examples for results generated by the TTD for the Example Job JobOrder.
