Calendars (Magic xpi 4.13)
The Scheduler service can be configured to run the scheduler at a defined periodic interval. The interval can be Daily, Weekly, Monthly which can be defined on the Scheduler service configuration.
In addition to that, there is a provision to stop the scheduler from running for given date(s) of the year. For example, you may choose national holiday(s) or any other day(s) on which the scheduler need not run. To define these dates for which the Scheduler service should not run, the exclusion calendar can be used.
The Calendars section in the Settings dialog box provides you with a central location to define this exclusion/Holiday calendar. These calendars definitions are saved in an XML file (Calendars.xml) in your <project name> folder. Any changes done to the Calendars are effective immediate, for all running projects. For example, the user can use the Studio or the External Environment Settings to update the Calendars while the project is still running and the next scheduled event within the project will be evaluated based on the changes to the Holiday calendar.
