Error description
The Time Schedule of a time elapsed UCA contains a 'month' pane, a pane where you can select 'Every', 'First' or 'Last', a 'weekday' pane as well as 'hour' and a 'minute' pane. If you select 'first' or 'last' together with multiple weedays, the BPM Scheduler will execute the UCA only on one of these weekdays.
Local fix
This IFix fixes this behavior in such a way the the UCA will be executed on each of the selected weekdays. As an example, if you specify 'first' and 'Monday', 'Wednesday' and 'Thursday', the UCA will be executed at the first Monday, the first Wednesday and the first Thursday of the month. The same applies to the 'last' selection.
Problem summary
Problem Description: The Time Schedule of a time elapsed UCA contains a 'month' pane, a pane where you can select 'Every', 'First' or 'Last', a 'weekday' pane as well as 'hour' and a 'minute' pane. If you select 'first' or 'last' together with multiple weedays, the BPM Scheduler will execute the UCA only on one of these weekdays. Problem Summary: The algorith that determines the next time when the UCA is to be scheduled does not account for the possibility that multiple weekdays can be selected in the weeday pane
Problem conclusion
If the UCA's Time Schedule specifies for example, 'last' and 'monday','tuesday' and 'thursday', then the UCA will be scheduled at the last monday, last tuesday and last thursday of the month. The same applies to the 'first' specification. The problem was solved by modifying the algorithm that schedules the UCA. If a UCA has specified multiple weedays in the weekday pane, then the UCA will be executed at each of these weekdays. iFix available on top of V801 FP1
