Introduction
Calendars are lists of days on which Orders, Jobs and Schedules are planned to be executed. Calendars can be defined as either working or non-working days and can be both combined and reused. An example of Calendar combination would be one Calendar specifying that a normal working week contained the five days Monday to Friday being used in combination with a Calendar specifying the public holidays in the current year. Reuse allows, for example, a Holiday Calender to be defined once and then specified as required.
Scope
The Calendar feature is introduced with JobScheduler version 1.12 FEATURE AVAILABILITY STARTING FROM RELEASE 1.12 and ... WHAT WILL BE DEPRECATED?
Description
Calendars as Resources
As resources, Calendars are managed in the Calenders tab of the Resources view of the JOC Cockpit. Resources are objects that can be configured independently of other objects.
Note that in contrast to the other Resources - Locks, Process Classes and Schedules - Calendars are not stored as XML objects on the file system. This means that they are not editable using the JobScheduler Object Editor, JOE. Calendars are permanently saved in the JobScheduler reporting database tables.
Calendars for Orders and Schedules
Calendars can be used to define the days on which an Order or a Schedule is to be run. The RunTime - that is, the times within a day at which the Order or Schedule is to run - can either be set as for the Order or Schedule or for the Calendar.
