Generating Exception Runs

Generating exception runs refers to the runs associated with exception combinations other than what you selected as the default.

Make sure that the scenario to which you want to apply the exceptions is marked as Active.

Open the Runs screen.

  1. On the screen toolbar, click the Generate Exception Runs button:Generate Exception Runs button
    The Generate Exception Runs dialog appears.
    Generate Exception Runs dialog box
  2. To automatically ensure that generated exception runs keep the run type set as the default, select the Force Run Type check box.
    Applying the Force Run Type feature prevents possible issues in rostering when runs that contain exceptions become illegal on some exception days, for example, a run that has School Open trips at the end of the day becomes shorter when school is closed. In other words, it forces the exception runs to remain legal.
  3. Click Generate.
    A progress bar appears at the bottom section of the dialog.
    Note: If the BlockBuster Generate Runs for Exceptions Off system property is set to Yes, the system generates all runs.

    Run names are also copied aside from run numbers when generating exceptions. (They do not necessarily always have the same values.)
