This video starts a workshop in several parts about the conditional execution of jobs. One job within a batch should only run, if another job has actually loaded new data.

In that video we execute time scheduled jobs on specific days by changing the master schedules that we created in video tutorial number 8. The Munich job should run every Friday. The New York job has to run on the last Friday of the month, and the Tokyo job should only run when Friday falls on a 13th.

Tutorial 10: New calendar features for timescheduling

Different holiday calenders have to be scheduled
In that video tutorial we demonstrate some of the new timescheduling features of BICsuite and schedulix. We are assuming that our company has branches in Hamburg, Berlin and Munich. As well as the national holidays, each branch has its own public holidays. A job should only run if all the branches are working, that is if there are no public holidays in any of the federal states. We schedule a second job so that it will always run if at least one of the three branches is working. More videos...
