How to prevent the execution of a job or an order for the last sunday of a month
Question: I would like to know if there a way to prevent the execution of a job or an order at a specific day? For example, a job or an order that runs every day of every month. But I would like to stop it the last Sunday of each month.
<run_time>
<weekdays>
<day day="1 2 3 4 5 6">
<period single_start="13:00"/>
</day>
</weekdays>
<monthdays>
<weekday day="7" which="-1">
<period single_start="13:00"/>
</weekday>
<weekday day="7" which="-2">
<period single_start="13:00" when_holiday="ignore_holiday"/>
</weekday>
<weekday day="7" which="-3">
<period single_start="13:00" when_holiday="ignore_holiday"/>
</weekday>
<weekday day="7" which="-4">
<period single_start="13:00" when_holiday="ignore_holiday"/>
</weekday>
</monthdays>
<holidays>
<weekdays>
<day day="7"/>
</weekdays>
</holidays>
</run_time>

How to stop a job or an order for a period that is not previously defined?
Question: How can I stop a job or an order for a specific period that is not previously defined? Example: my order is a daily order. But on e.g. 2013-05-01 I have a maintenance on the machine. So I would like to stop one chain or all the chains.
To prevent the execution of a job or an order at a specific (not predefined) day you can define a holidays file, e.g. in $SCHEDULER_DATA/config/live/holiday.xml like this:
<holidays> <holiday day="2013-05-01"/> </holidays>
and include it into your job(s) and order(s) with
<run_time>
<period single_start="12:00"/>
<holidays>
<include live_file="/holiday.xml"/>
</holidays>
</run_time>
Referencing a central configuration file for holidays as for the above holiday.xml would be effective for all jobs and orders using this file. Modifications to that file will be applied on-the-fly by JobScheduler.
