Assume you have an order which should be start at 10 p.m. every day. Normally you would place a runtime like this directly in the order:

 <period  single_start="22:00"/>

Using a schedule the runtime is placed in a single configuration element:

 <schedule name="every_day_at_10pm">
    <period  single_start="22:00"/>
 </schedule>

The order referenced to this schedule as follows:

 <order ...>
    ...
    <run_time schedule="every_day_at_10pm"/>
 </order> 

Now it is possibile to substitute the schedule 'every_day_at_10pm' by another one for a specific time range. For our purpose we need a schedule that produces a manual start of the order:

 <schedule substitute="every_day_at_10pm" valid_from="2013-01-01 00:00:00" valid_to="2013-01-01 01:00:00" name="manual_start"/>

The time range is in the past, so it will have no effect at the time.

After preparing the configuration described above you can skip the daily runtime for a specific time range using JOC as follows:

• Choose the 'Schedules' tab in JOC
• Select the schedule 'manual_start'
• Choose 'Edit schedule' in the 'Substitute menu'
• By clicking 'runtime editor' you can change the time range the substitute is active.
