Date and Time Controls for Automated Event Processing

Determining a course of action based on when an event occurs can be critical to the proper handling of the event. You define the "when" criterion using calendar profiles.

Note: The use of calendars with Event Management is optional. You can proceed to Message Traps and Actions if you are not setting date and time controls now.

CA Common Services for z/OS provides facilities to define as many calendars as you require to meet your needs, and to store them for easy reference.

You define calendars using the Enterprise Management GUI or the cautil command line interface. The GUI has a significant advantage over command line entry because it simplifies date and time specifications.

Note: For more information about calendar administration, see Enterprise Management in the online help.
