About this task
Paymore does not run its jobs at weekends or on national holidays. Specify the national holidays by creating the default calendar, which is a calendar with an ID of DEFAULT.
Create the default
calendar like this:
- Select option 1.2.2 from the main menu.
- On the MODIFYING CALENDARS panel, enter the CREATE command. The CREATING A CALENDAR panel is shown, (Changing the default calendar).
- Enter
W
for the status of the days of the week that are work days, andF
for the weekends and holidays. When work would otherwise be planned on a free (F) day, HCL Workload Automation for Z plans the work according to the free-day rule on each application run cycle. See Selecting a free-day rule for detailed information about the free-day rule.The status specified for a particular date overrides the specification for the corresponding day of the week.
- Specify the workday end time, which is the time that HCL Workload Automation for Z considers the day to end for planning purposes. Paymore's night shift, for example, goes home at 06.00, and work is run until 06.00 on holidays.
Remember to maintain your calendar once a year. Make full use of the calendar by using HCL Workload Automation for Z to schedule other things than batch jobs and started tasks. Why not use it to initiate events in NetView®?
