Adding Holidays or Non-Working Days to Calendars

Calendars in OpCon store named collections of dates that schedules and frequencies use to determine when automation runs or is excluded. A holiday or non-working day is a date you mark on a holiday calendar — either the Master Holiday Calendar or a user-defined holiday calendar — so that OpCon treats that date as excluded. Dates marked as non-working appear in red on the calendar widget.

You must have the Maintain Calendars privilege to add or remove dates.

Add a holiday or non-working day

To add a holiday or non-working day to a calendar, complete the following steps:

1. In Enterprise Manager, select Calendars under the Administration topic in the navigation pane. The Calendars screen opens.
2. In the Selection list, select the holiday calendar you want to modify (for example, Master Holiday or a user-defined holiday calendar).
3. Use the Year field to go to the year that contains the date you want to add.
4. In the calendar widget, select the date to mark as a holiday or non-working day.

Result: The date is saved immediately and appears highlighted in red in the calendar widget. The date also appears in the Date List field above the calendar.

note

Selecting a date that is already marked toggles it off, removing it from the calendar. No separate save step is required — changes are committed on each selection.

Remove a holiday or non-working day

To remove a date that was previously marked as a holiday or non-working day, complete the following steps:

1. In Enterprise Manager, select Calendars under the Administration topic in the navigation pane.
2. In the Selection list, select the calendar that contains the date you want to remove.
3. Use the Year field to go to the year that contains the date.
4. In the calendar widget, select the highlighted date you want to remove.

Result: The date is removed from the calendar immediately and is no longer highlighted.

Delete old dates

The Delete Old Dates button removes past dates from a calendar to keep the date list manageable.

To delete old dates, complete the following steps:

1. In Enterprise Manager, select Calendars under the Administration topic in the navigation pane.
2. In the Selection list, select the calendar you want to clean up.
3. Select Delete Old Dates.
4. In the confirmation dialog, choose whether to delete old dates from the current calendar only or from all calendars.
5. Select Yes to confirm.

Result: All dates older than 30 days before today are removed from the selected calendar or all calendars, depending on your choice.
