6.2.2 Defining the annual calendar information

To define the annual calendar information:

1. In the JP1/AJS3 - View window, in Function Menu, click Calendar Definition.

   Calendar Definition is now selected.

2. In the tree area, click the job group for which calendar information needs to be defined.

   The job group you clicked is now selected.

3. Choose Edit and then Calendar.

   The Edit Monthly Calendar window of the month appears. The current date is displayed in yellow.

4. Choose View and then Edit Annual Calendar.

   The Edit Annual Calendar window of the year appears. The current date is displayed in yellow.

   When calendar information is defined in the job group that is above the selected job group, the calendar information of the upper-level job group is applied to the background colors in the Edit Annual Calendar window. The background colors are as follows:

   • For open days: Light green

   • For closed days: Orange

   • For unspecified days: White

   If you have defined calendar information in Standard week, that calendar information is applied to the background colors in the Edit Annual Calendar window. The background colors are as follows:

   • For open days: Light blue

   • For closed days: Light red

   • For unspecified days: White

5. Define open days and closed days of the year.

   For details about the definition method, see 6.2.1 Defining the monthly calendar information.

6. Define the calendar information of the next year if necessary.

   To define, click Next Year button, and define the calendar information of the next year in the displayed window.

7. Choose File and then Save.

   The defined information is saved.

8. Choose File and then Close.

   The Edit Annual Calendar window is closed.

Cautionary note

Change calendar information when there are only a few tasks. While the Edit Annual Calendar window is saving calendar information, the system suppresses the execution of the jobnets that are registered for execution under the scheduler service containing the job group whose calendar information you are changing. This could have an effect on tasks. However, note that, regardless of whether calendar information is being saved, a jobnet with a start condition is executed when the start condition is established if the jobnet enters the Now monitoring status before the calendar information is changed.

Supplementary notes

• Multiple users can edit calendar information simultaneously. In this case, the last saved information is valid.

• Calendar information is definable between January 1994 and December 2036.

• The information defined in the standard week is valid for all months and years (January 1994 to December 2036).

• In the Edit Annual Calendar window, choosing View and then Edit Monthly Calendar displays the Edit Monthly Calendar window.

• Defining annual calendar information causes the first month to become the month for which operations were performed, as when you define monthly calendar information.

• If calendar information of a job group has not been set, the calendar information of the upper-level job group or scheduler service is referenced. If none of this calendar information has been specified, an open day is assumed.

• For details about the Edit Annual Calendar window, see 12.14.5(2) Notes on the Edit Yearly Calendar window as well.
