Description

General Description

Calendar Types

Calendars are configured as either working days or non-working days:

  • A working day Calendar specifies the business days for which job executions are targeted.
  • Non-working days include days for which jobs should not be executed.

Both calendar types can be combined with precedence being given to non-working days for any overlapping days.

Frequencies

Handling of days in both types of Calendars is simplified through the use of Frequencies. Typical Frequencies include:

  • Weekdays: Monday to Friday, every week,
  • Recurring Day; every 2nd last day in every month,
  • National Holidays: for a country for the a particular year.

Frequencies can be inclusive and exclusive, allowing a number of approaches to Calender configuration to be adopted in line with legacy procedures.

...

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.

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.

Once they have been configured as resources, one or more Calendars can then be assigned to Orders , Standalone and Jobs or Schedules as required.

Assigned Calendars can also be modified usnig the with modifications being applied to all objects that use the respective Calendar.

Note that in contrast similar to the other Resources - Locks, , e.g. Locks and Process Classes and Schedules - , Calendars are not stored as XML objects on in the file system. This means that Calendars are managed with the JOC Cockpit, they are not editable using the JobScheduler Object Editor, JOE. Calendars are permanently saved added to the inventory in the JobScheduler reporting database tables.

Calendars for Orders, Jobs and Schedules

The calendar user interface can be used to define the Run-Times - , i.e the days and times at which Orders, Standalone Jobs or and Schedules are to be run. Here the Run-Time is saved as part of the configuration of the Order, Standalone Job or Schedule in XML format in the JobScheduler's live folder. Run-Times set in this manner are persistent - that is, they will not be lost after a restart of the JobScheduler. They can also be read and edited using JOE, the JobScheduler Object Editor.

Calendar Deployment

Export and import functions allow the bulk deployment of Calendars, for example, when updating non-working day information on a production system.

The Calendar deployment procedure is described in the Calendar Management - Calendar Deployment article.
