As an alternative to using a calendar to let jobsets, jobs, or triggers run on specific days, you can use expanded calendar processing to define conditions under which jobsets, jobs, or triggers run.
Expanded calendar processing lets you set conditions for holiday and non-workday processing. By setting the holiday action and non-workday action switches, you can tell a job what to do on these days; you would not need to maintain special calendars to handle the situation.
Using expanded calendar processing also can reduce the number of calendars you have to maintain. For example, when you want one job to run on Mondays and another job to run on Tuesdays, you have the choice of defining two calendars or setting expanded calendar processing criteria for a single holidays calendar.
Use the Profile notebook page on the Jobset, Job, or Trigger Detail windows to extend your calendar processing criteria. The fields on the Profile notebook page are as follows:
The name of the holiday calendar to use when testing any of the criteria keywords. An entry in this field overrides any other calendar processing that may be set on the Jobset or Job Main Info notebook page.
The action to take if the selected day falls on a holiday.
The action to take if the selected day falls on a non-workday (Saturday or Sunday).
The adjustment in days (positive or negative) to make when the other criteria do not meet expectations.
The selection criteria keywords to use when processing this calendar. This field allows Boolean logic to create compound conditions.
For a complete description of these fields and conditions, see Job/Jobset/Trigger Profile - Detail in the online help.
