Calendars

Calendars are used for scheduling jobs to identify the days when jobs should or should not process. You can define a custom calendar to include any number of dates. You can then associate any calendar with one or more jobs. A custom calendar can be created using a standard calendar or an extended calendar.

A standard calendar is a set of manually selected, user-specified dates. There are two types of standard calendars: run and exclude. A run calendar specifies the days on which a job should run, such as the first weekday of every month. Conversely, an exclude calendar specifies the days on which a job should not run. For example, to help ensure that a job never runs on any corporate holiday, you could create a calendar named Holidays that has each corporate holiday selected.

An extended calendar is a dynamic calendar that is generated automatically based on a combination of holiday calendars, cycles, and conditions defined.

Each calendar is stored in the database as a separate object with a unique name.
