Basic Scheduling Parameters

Control-O Basic Scheduling parameters specify on what dates the rule is a candidate for activation on a daily basis. The rule is "ordered" (that is, its basic scheduling criteria are checked; if fulfilled, the rule is ready to be activated — placed in the active Control-O monitor environment). However, it is not activated until Runtime Scheduling and Message/Event criteria have been fulfilled.

Use of the Basic Scheduling parameters is optional and is usually performed by advanced Control-O users. The "Show Scheduling Criteria" field of the entry panel manages the display of Basic and Runtime Scheduling parameters on the Rule Definition screen. It is also possible to control this feature from the Rule Definition screen. Type SCHED (or SC) in the command area and press Enter to alternate between display or non-display of the scheduling parameters.

Figure 23 shows the Basic Scheduling Parameters section of the Rule Definition screen.
