Recurrence patterns

Each recurrence pattern has its own set of parameters. You use these parameters to create calendars to match your processing dates.

The following table describes the four types of recurrence patterns:

Pattern Description
Daily Processing occurs every 1–7 days (Monday through Sunday) or every 1–5 weekdays (Monday through Friday). An example is processing that occurs every weeknight.
Weekly Processing occurs at a specified weekly interval on specified days. An example is payroll processing that occurs every Friday.
Monthly Processing occurs at a specified monthly interval on a specified day, such as the 7th of each month, or the third Monday of each month. An example is accounts receivable processing that occurs on the last day of each month.

If you select the 31st as the date, IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor sets the date to the last day of the month.

Yearly Processing occurs once a year on a specified day or date. An example is year-end processing that occurs on January 15.
