Jobs, sub-folders, and SMART folders can use specific Rule-based Calendars by using the Using Specific Rule-based Calendar scheduling option, which enables you to add pre-defined Control-M Rule-based Calendars to lists, add pre-defined Folder Rule-based Calendar, or add and define a Folder Rule-based Calendar. However, for jobs that are in regular folders, the specific combination is different than for jobs in SMART folders. Also, the sub-folders have different scheduling options than SMART folders, as described in Specific Rule-based calendar scheduling.
You can define Rule-based Calendars (RBCs) to set the dates that will be scheduled (included RBCs) in a job, sub-folder, and SMART folder, by adding and selecting the RBCs for the Rule-based Calendar list.
The defined RBCs can also be used to set the dates that will not be scheduled (excluded RBCs) in a job, sub-folder, and SMART folder, by adding and selecting RBCs for the Excluded Rule-based Calendar list, as described in Scheduling a job/folder.
The scheduling of a job with included RBCs and excluded RBCs is determined by combining the specified days of the included RBCs, combining the specified days of the excluded RBCs, and then removing the set of the excluded RBCs from the set of the included RBCs.
EXAMPLE: If a job’s RBC list is {Everyday} and the job’s excluded RBC list is {Weekends, Holidays}, the resulting schedule is that the job will run on every day that is not a weekend and not a holiday.
For more examples, see Rule Based Calendar examples.
In some screens in the application, excluded RBCs are indicated with the ! character preceding the RBC name, as in !Mondays. A job can have 0 or more excluded RBCs. If no included RBC are specified, then the set of scheduled days is empty.
You can select from an excluded RBC list for jobs, sub-folders, or SMART folders in a Control-M/Server where the feature is enabled. The RBC name must not start with the ! character, for Control-M version 8.0.00 fix pack 1 and later.
The Excluded RBC feature is enabled in Control-M version 8.0.00 fix pack 1 for each specific Control-M/Server or Control-M for z/OS version 8.0.00 fix pack 1 or later, where the Excluded RBC feature is enabled. For more information about enabling the feature, contact your Control-M Administrator.
