Run a Job Every 45 Days Except on Weekends or Holidays

[Jonathan Calloway]

All,

 

I have a requirement to run a job every 45 days except for weekends or holidays.  If I use the example of a two week job (i.e. RUN EVERY TWO WEEKS BEGINNING MARCH 20, 2020 PLUS 0 WORKDAYS) it works just fine.  However, when I substitute run every 45 days for run every two weeks like this:

 

RUN EVERY 45 DAYS STARTING MAR 20TH 2020 PLUS 0 WORKDAYS

 

. . the result is that the literal number of days is used, and holidays and /or weekends are ignored.  Is there a way to do this so that holidays and weekends are taken in to account?  I have tried using GENTIME and I cannot seem to get that to work either.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi, 
You can use any of the javascripts in the example, and check for workdays except holidays;

WOB.sched=false;
if (today('workdays except holidays'))
{
num=daysFrom('March 20,2020');
if (num%45==0) WOB.sched='today';
}

----------

WOB.sched=false;
if (today('workdays except holidays'))
{
genTime('thisday','today');
num=daysBetween('March 20, 2020',thisdayDATE,'days');
if (num%45==0) WOB.sched='today';
}
