How days are generated using rules
HCL Workload Automation for Z uses both the free-day rule and the workday end time (specified in the calendar) when generating days from a rule.
When you enter the rule on the MODIFYING A RULE panel, HCL Workload Automation for Z:
- First generates the days regardless of the free-day rule and workday end time.
- Adds one day to the generated dates, if the application input arrival time is before the workday end time. (If an application input arrival time is 02.00 and the workday end time is 03.00; when you specify that the application runs on Monday, HCL Workload Automation for Z assumes you mean Tuesday at 02.00, because 02.00 on Monday belongs to Sunday.)
- Takes the workday end time and free-day rule into account. Days can be moved outside the interval because of the free-day rule, although the long-term planning process generates a warning message when this happens.
- Shows the days resulting from this, if you use the GENDAYS command.
