Creating a Control-M Rule-based Calendar

This procedure describes how to create a Control-M Rule-based calendar, which is a pre-defined calendar that is based on specific scheduling rules.

To create a Control-M Rule-based Calendar:

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

   The calendar properties pane appears on the right.

3. Do the following:
   • In the Calendar Name field, type the name of the calendar.
   • From the Control-M Server drop-down list, select the Control-M/Server where the calendar is synchronized.
4. From the Schedule drop-down list, select one of the scheduling options, as described in Scheduling options.
5. Click More.
6. For each field, type or select the required value, as described in Scheduling parameters.
7. Click OK.

   The Rule-Based calendar is created and appears in the calendar table.

8. 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).
