Aim:
- Creating a calendarAn Automation Engine object type that defines a set of days based on calendar keywords.
- Creating a calendar keywordThe attribute of a Calendar object that defines which days included in the calendar.
- Assigning this calendar keyword to a file transferTransfers files from one computer to another. A particular Automation Engine object type (FileTransfer object).
It is very easy and helpful to schedule tasks through Schedule objects. Calendar objects can additionally be included as business processes often dependent on particular days.
In this lesson, we adjust the execution of the existing file transfer. It should be started Mondays to Fridays, but not on weekends.
The weeks are graphically displayed in the Calendar tab.
Now the calendar must be linked to the FileTransfer object. This is done with calendar keywords.
The Calendar object is now ready for use. In the next step, we assign the calendar keyword to the file transfer in the schedule.
In accordance with the definitions made, the FileTransfer object will run from Mondays to Fridays.
Note that this only applies when the file transfer was activated by the Schedule.
Create a second calendar keyword in the Calendar object which includes all Saturdays and Sundays. Now select the WEEKEND keyword in the FileTransfer object instead of the WEEKDAYS keyword. Hence, the FileTransfer object does not run on days between Monday and Friday.
End the Schedule object and re-assign the WEEKDAYS keyword to the FileTransfer object.
