Calendars

CA Workload Automation DE has many integrated scheduling terms, such as dates and times. Your enterprise may want to set up additional scheduling terms, such as holidays, special days, and special processing periods, which are unique to your enterprise. You can define these terms in CA Workload Automation DE using a calendar.

CA Workload Automation DE uses one or more calendars to store definitions of scheduling elements unique to your installation. You can define calendars to meet your installation requirements. Your CA Workload Automation DE administrator controls access to these calendars.

A calendar contains the following:

Holidays (holidays can span one day or several days)
Special days such as inventory day, company meeting, or pay day
Special processing periods such as fiscal months, fiscal years, and 4-5-4 periods
Days of the week considered to be workdays

Different groups of users can have their own unique holidays, special days, and periods. After you have set up calendars that meet your needs, you can use these calendars to schedule workload.

CA Workload Automation DE includes a default calendar, named the SYSTEM calendar. You can use the SYSTEM calendar to store holidays and special days that are common to many Applications within your organization. You can store department‑specific holidays and special days in as many additional calendars as required.

Note: The SYSTEM calendar cannot be deleted.
