Schedule a job with Factory calendar.

[Former Member]

Hi All!

I have to schedule a job on some specific days in the year.

I created a specific factory calendar fot this.

How can I schedule now using this calendar.

In SM36 I press staring condition button and than the two arrows button (next to "at operation mode button").

In the new pop up i fill the factory calendar but I get an error ("Specify a start time") and even if I enter a time in the same pop up i can't save.

Any idea???

Thanks

this is a bug in that dynpro. what the screen really wants is the workday the job should run. please note that if you - for example - enter "1" this will mean the first workday in your special calender.

i use this method when i want CO-jobs to run on the first weekend-day every month.

you don't need to add a time (at least not in NW640/17).

mark on of the radio buttons 'relative to ...' and add a value in the field period. save without using the << function (this is also a bit buggy).

when you need the job to run every day of your calender you wouldn't use this option, but schedule the job periodically like c ravi described. this would run the job daily on the period of your calendar. you can also decide whether the job should run on weekends, holidays etc.
