For jobs in folders, two types of basic scheduling criteria can be specified:

Rule-Based Calendars. Pointers to sets of scheduling criteria defined in the folder.
Basic Scheduling Criteria. Defined in each job processing definition.

In some cases, both sets of criteria must be satisfied for the job to be scheduled. In other cases, it is sufficient if either set of criteria is satisfied. The AND-OR option enables you to specify the required combination:

When either set of criteria is sufficient choose OR.
When both sets of criteria are required, choose AND.
NOTE:
- If an AND relationship is specified and no Rule-Based Calendars are defined in the job, the job is not scheduled.
- This parameter is relevant only to the job processing definitions of jobs that are in folders.
