Forecasting Job Frequencies

The Forecast window in Enterprise Manager displays a full-year calendar view of the dates a job frequency is scheduled to run. Use Forecast to preview a single frequency and Forecast All to preview every frequency assigned to a job at once.

The calendar uses color coding to distinguish date types:

  • Highlighted dates — dates the frequency is eligible to run
  • Non Working Day — days outside the schedule's working-day definition (shown in red)
  • Non Working Day (Holiday Calendar) — non-working days sourced from a holiday calendar (shown in red)
  • Excluded — dates excluded by frequency rules or calendar assignments (shown in magenta)
