3.2 Considerations when defining a calendar for JP1/AJS3 operation

You can create a JP1/AJS3 operational calendar for jobnet execution, in which open days and closed days such as the Sundays and holidays in an ordinary calendar are defined. When preparing the calendar, you need to consider the base day and base time settings, as well as which days to designate as open days and closed days.

Table 3‒1: Matters to consider when creating a calendar
Consideration	Description
Open days and closed days	Consider the days on which jobnets will be executed (open days) and the days on which jobnets will not be executed (closed days).
Base day	Consider which day is to serve as the first day of the month. You can designate the base day as a specific date, or as the `n`th occurrence of a specific day of the week. For example: If the closing date for calculating salaries is the 20th of each month, by setting the 21st as the base day you can fix the period from the 21st of one month to the 20th of the next month as one month for the purpose of salary calculation.
Base time	Consider the time at which you want each day to start. For example: By setting 8:00 as the base time, processing that takes place at 1:00 on the following calendar day is treated as part of the current day.
Exclusive schedule	Consider whether you want a particular jobnet not to be executed if its execution schedule coincides with that of another jobnet.
