Calendars
Calendars specify days/dates, how long the calendar remains in effect, and how often processing is repeated (recurrence).
IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor has eight predefined calendars. There is one calendar for each day of the week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). Then, there is one calendar that includes every day of the week (Daily). You can use these predefined calendars for scheduled reports and for rule schedules and SLC schedules. You can also create additional calendars to meet your processing needs.
When you create calendars, you specify a recurrence of daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. In the planning process for your IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor implementation, be sure to include an analysis of the calendars you needed for monitoring the servers in your environment. If you need common calendars for reuse, you can set them up before defining the schedules that use them. You can also create calendars as you are defining scheduled reports, rules, and SLCs.
For example, a calendar for Monday through Friday processing might have the following values:
| Panel | Field | Value |
|---|---|---|
| General | Name | Monday-Friday |
| Description | Monday through Friday | |
| Recurrence | Start | Today's date |
| End | No end date | |
| Recurrence Pattern | Every 1 week | |
| Modification | Modifications | Remove holidays per your company schedule |
