A calendar specified in CONFCAL is not used for report decollating mission scheduling but is used instead for validating a scheduled date. Only report decollating missions that have satisfied all other specified basic scheduling criteria are checked against the CONFCAL calendar. If the day is a working day in the CONFCAL calendar, the report decollating mission is scheduled on that day. Otherwise, the report decollating mission is either shifted to (scheduled on) another day according to the value specified in parameter SHIFT, or the report decollating mission is not scheduled (if no SHIFT value has been specified).
CONFCAL calendars are useful for handling holidays and other scheduling exceptions.
Defining a Schedule – Internal Scheduling Logic
When defining report decollating missions, it is useful to understand the IOA Scheduling facility logic that determines whether or not to order a report decollating mission on a specific day. This logic is described below.
If DAYS/DCAL are not specified, this third scheduling decision is identical to the second scheduling decision. If WDAYS/WCAL are not specified, this third scheduling decision is identical to the first scheduling decision.
