Dear ESP community,
We are happy to announce the release of an enhancement LU14475, introducing the new job-level CALENDAR statement.
This enhancement gives you the flexibility to use ESP calendars on the individual job level in your workload.
The job-level CALENDAR statement affects statements that are coded subsequently within the job definition.
The calendar is valid either until the end of the job definition or until another job-level CALENDAR statement, whichever comes first.
All statements using scheduling criteria within the scope of a job-level CALENDAR are resolved relative to calendars that are specified by the statement, plus the SYSTEM calendar.
With this enhancement you will be able to work with advanced scenarios, like combining two calendars for a job selection criteria.
(You can read about this in Example: Select jobs to run based on multiple calendars on the CALENDAR statement page)
You can see a short video published on support portal demonstrating the feature.
Please refer to techdocs.broadcom.com for more details:
