situations.

The activation of networks is handled by the Entire Operations Monitor in several steps:
Extraction of the schedules, by default at the beginning of a new day.
The activation of the extracted job networks at or shortly before the earliest start time of the network.
The examination of the schedules can be forced at any time by using the Global Schedule Extraction feature. Several schedule extractions on the same day have no influence on already extracted activations.

activation extraction.
