How to Define a DSM Calendar › Attach a Calendar

Attach a Calendar

The DSM Calendar can be attached in the following two ways:

Job Execution Calendar

You can attach a job execution calendar to a specific computer, computer group, All Computers, or User Profiles. The calendar is attached by right-clicking the computer or group icon, and selecting Software Jobs, Job execution calendar, Attach. It can later be detached in a similar manner. The software job then follows the parameters defined in the DSM Calendar to execute the job deployment.

Job Delivery Calendar

You can also use a job delivery calendar while deploying software jobs. On the Job Options tab, you can specify whether you want to use a job delivery calendar for each job. The role of this calendar is to control job deliveries using Data Transport Service.

The DSM Calendar must meet the following criteria to be active at any given time of the day:

• It should contain at least one Included range for the particular time of the day.
• It should not contain any Excluded range for that specific time of the day. If the calendar contains even one Excluded range for that particular time of the day, the calendar will not be active for that specific duration.
