Defining Subscription End Dates Jobs

A Subscription End Dates job sets booking end dates.

Before you begin

Schedule Job Agent must be open.

About this task

Although the subscription date ranges are correctly saved in the Booking table, the Schedule Server application uses date intervals to schedule trips, so this job updates the DateIntervals table with the Booking table's ToDate.

Procedure

  1. Select a job from the grid.
    The scheduled job record settings are shown in the Job Schedule frame.
  2. Confirm the Agent Name PassScheduleAgent is defined for the job schedule.
    The selected agent determines the options that are available in the Job Type field.
  3. Click Job Data.
    The Job Data dialog box appears.
  4. Define the schedule type and date information:
    1. In the SchType field, click a schedule type:
      Live or Template.
    2. Optional: In the Schedule list, if setting parameters for a single date or week day, specify a date or day. If the job parameters should apply to all dates or days that the job runs, leave this field set to N/A.
    3. In the Offset field, type the offset from the present date.
      Typing 0 will run the job today. Typing 1 runs the job on the next day’s schedule.

      Using Offset allows you to always run the job for days in the future.

  5. In the Job Type field, select Subscription End Dates. If no Job Types are available, confirm that an Agent Name has been selected in the Job Schedule frame of the Schedule Job Agent dialog box.
  6. Click New.
    The New Batch dialog box appears.
    The New Batch dialog box open to the Subscription End Dates tab. No options are defined.
  7. Type the Batch Name for the job step.
  8. Type the Number of days into the future to search for subscription information.
    If you type 5, the system will look for the job run date's data, as well as the data for five days into the future.
  9. Click OK.
  10. Click OK.
    The Job Data dialog box closes.
  11. Click Save.
