Item 1: Allow
combinations of parameters separated by commas
in job
schedules
Date: 11 April

Status:
What: The ability
to allow combinations of parameters
separated
by commas would clean up some schedule
definitions.
Why: An example
is the easiest way to explain this -
Schedule {
Name =
"dailyWithFullEveryOtherMonth"
Run =
Level=Full Jan 1st Sun
at 23:05
Run =
Level=Differential Feb 1st Sun
at 23:05
Run =
Level=Full Mar 1st Sun
at 23:05
Run =
Level=Differential Apr 1st Sun
at 23:05
.
.
Shortened for readability.
.
Run =
Level=Differential Dec 1st Sun
at 23:05
Run =
Level=Differential 2nd-5th Sun
at 23:05
Run =
Incremental Mon-Sat
at 23:05
}
Could be
simplified to -
Schedule {
Name =
"dailyWithFullEveryOtherMonth"
Run =
Level=Full Jan,Mar,May,Jul,Sep,Nov 1st Sun
at 23:05
Run =
Level=Differential Feb,Apr,Jun,Aug,Oct,Dec 1st Sun
at 23:05
Run =
Level=Differential 2nd-5th Sun
at 23:05
Run =
Incremental Mon-Sat
at 23:05
}
Notes: Comma
operators could be allowed in the specification of the
month,
weekday,
and time. Program logic would have to expand to all
combinations.
Ex: Jan,Feb
1st Sun,Wed would have to expand to Jan 1st Sun, Jan 1st
Wed,
Feb 1st
Sun, Feb 1st Wed.
