Predefined schedules

Create schedules that contain information needed to schedule a job or calculate exception dates within a holiday calendar.

You can create schedules that contain information needed to schedule a job or calculate exception dates within a holiday calendar.

For instance, you can create an ENDOFWEEK schedule that contains the day of the week to run, along with any additional calendars. The ENDOFWEEK schedule can then be used by all the jobs that match that scheduling frequency. You can access this feature only through iSeries™ Navigator.

You can use those same predefined schedules that are used in a job with your holiday calendars. You can create a schedule THIRDFRI that has a frequency of the third Friday of each month. When you use THIRDFRI in a holiday calendar, you cause all jobs that use this holiday calendar to not run on the third Friday of each month. You can use one or more schedules in a holiday calendar. Dates that are generated by the schedule will be shown on the calendar with a black border.
