Setting up Job Processing Calendar

Overview (DDI42)

The Calendar Setup is used for entering date codes on specific days for the jobs with those date codes to run in the job processor. For example, if a calendar date has the date code WB (Week Begin), all jobs having the WB date code are scheduled to run on that day. Monday through Friday contain the date code WD (Work Day) by default; therefore, WD does not display on the calendar for Monday through Friday. If work day processing needs to be performed on a weekend, then WD must be entered in the Saturday and/or Sunday dates. Several job cycles may be set to run on a given date. (For example, 22nd jobs are almost always combined with WD jobs, and EOM jobs can be combined with Quarterly, Semi-Annual and Annual jobs, etc.) If the client observes holidays, the holidays should have HD (holiday) entered on the calendar and no processing occurs on those days.

Individuals with system administrator access within DDI Connect can modify the calendar. If you need to have access to this function but do not, contact your organization's DDI system administrator or call DDI Client Support for assistance.

NOTE: If you have system administrator access, you can click Admin on the main DDI Connect toolbar and select Calendar.

• From the DDI Connect main menu, double-click Supervisor Menu
• Double-click System Administration. You will now see this screen:

Double-click the Calendar icon. The calendar will now appear:

To edit the calendar, click Edit. The dates now open for modification:

Click the date you wish to edit, and type the appropriate date code. For example, your organization decides that Saturday, February 25th will be a working day, and you will be performing processing. Click on the 25th and type the code WD (for work day):
