Managing a calendar definition from the Orchestration CLI

In this topic you can find the syntax to create a calendar definition.

In a HCL Universal Orchestrator distributed environment, jobs can be defined either independently from job streams or within a job stream definition.

Each calendar definition has the following format and arguments:

Syntax

$calendar
[folder/]calendarname
[“descriptionˮ]
date [...]

[folder/][calendarname ...]

Arguments

[folder/]calendarname: Using this command, you can define the name of the calendar.
The name must start with a letter, and can contain alphanumeric characters, dashes, and underscores.; In this field, do not use any of the words specified in Installing command line.
“descriptionˮ: Using this command, you can specify a description for the calendar.
The content must be enclosed within double quotation marks. To use quotation marks ("), place a backslash (\) before.
date [...]: Using this command, you can define the dates when job streams do or do not run. The dates must be separated by spaces and the default format is mm/dd/yy. For further information, see: Installing command line.

In the following example you can find three calendar definitions. They are respectively named monthend, paydays, and holidays.

$calendar
monthend 
     "Month end dates 1st half 2022"
     01/31/2022 02/28/2022 03/31/2022 04/30/2022 05/31/2022 06/30/2022
