Schedules

Use of Schedules

Schedules are run-time configurations that can be used to define the start times of jobs and orders.

• Schedules include
  • a run-time configuration and
  • a replacement configuration that allows one schedule to be replaced by a different schedule during a certain period.
• Schedules can therefore be used to 
  • add reusable run-times to jobs and orders that can be centrally managed.
  • implement Maintenance Window Management.

Schedule Usage Patterns

Schedules for common run-times

• With multiple orders and jobs using the same schedule you could manage changes centrally.
• Any modifications to schedules are automatically applied to jobs and orders that reference the modified schedule.

Schedules for Maintenance Window Management

• Schedule replacement can be organized in way that the replacing schedule configures a holidy as a non-working day for the maintenance window.
• The replacement period can be restricted to an exact duration of hours, minutes and seconds.
