Creating a periodic calendar

This procedure describes how to create a periodic calendar, which is a pre-defined calendar based on different calendar periods that you define. The periods can be nonconsecutive, of varying length, and overlapping. No single period can exceed 255 days.

To create a periodic calendar:

1. From the Tools domain, in the Planning area, select Calendars.
2. From the Calendar menu, select New > Periodic Calendar.

   The calendar properties pane appears on the right.

3. Do the following:
   1. In the Calendar Name field, type the name of the calendar.
   2. From the Control-M Server drop-down list, select the Control-M/Server where the calendar is synchronized.
   3. In the Description field, describe details about the calendar.
   4. Select a period (A-Z, 1-9) to assign the calendar definition.
4. Do one of the following:
   • In the calendar, select the days that you want the job to run for the selected period.
   • Select Recurrence and do the following:
     1. Select the days of the month and /or the days of the week that you want the job to run for the selected period.
     2. From the Apply on drop-down list, select the years that you want the selected month days and week days applied to, for the selected period.
     3. Click OK.
5. Click OK.

   The periodic calendar is created and appears in the calendar table.

6. If you want to make the calendar available for scheduling, select the calendar and click Check in.

   The calendar synchronizes in the Definitions database. If your synchronization setting is set to No Synchronization, (see Configuring Control-M/Server synchronization), you can upload the calendar to Control-M/Server by clicking Upload drop-down list, and selecting Upload (to upload calendar to Control-M/Server) or Force Upload (same as Upload, but override changes).
