How Special Days Affect Run Times

Any time a job runs either automatically or as the result of a RUN command, the next scheduled start time for the job is calculated. This calculation takes into consideration the job’s scheduling interval, day restrictions, and Special Day Restrictions.

If a Special Day conflict is detected, requiring that the job be rescheduled or put on hold, any messages to be issued to the job’s owner and the operator will be sent at this time. Since this calculation is performed at the time a job is run, messages about a job’s Special Day scheduling conflicts may be sent before the run of the job has completed. This is normal and expected behavior.
