Scheduling Issue
Posted: 31 Aug 2009 9:17
We have very few jobs that are defined on a monthly schedule. The jobs that are monthly are very simple: The first working day of the month and we have a working day calendar defined.
We have a new requirement and I was hoping to not have to setup a new calendar. The user wants some jobs run on the last calendar day of the month. However, if it is a weekend or holiday, then run it on the next working day. This seems easy but when I run ctmrpln it is not showing what I expected. I was hoping to code it without setting up another calendar but I am having issues.
In MONTH DAYS I coded L1 with no calendar. I selected AND between the month days and week days boxes. In the week days box I coded ">1,>2,>3,>4,>5,>6,>0" (with the assistance of the rules button). I also specified a calendar that contains our working days.
I ran a yearly ctmrpln for 2009. Most months are good because the last calendar day is a working day. For Oct I expected the job to not be scheduled. For Nov I expected Nov 2 and Nov 30. ctmrpln only shows Nov 30.
Any ideas where I went wrong? Is Control-M capable of scheduling over multiple months? Is is coded right and ctmrpln is not reporting it properly?
Unfortunately we do not have Forecast.
Thanks.
