The Day Selection properties define the days on which a job will execute. Options on this page allow you to specify specific dates or rules that will determine the dates.
Optional name for this selection
Optionally, specify a name for this selection to help identify it in lists.
Months
Unless you are using the Easter option, you must select the month(s) in which the job should run.
Days
Select this option to execute jobs on specific days of the month. The job will execute on the day(s) you select in each of the months you have selected in the Months list.
If days you select fall after the last day of a month, the job will execute on the last day. For example, if you have selected all of the months in the months list, and have specified "30" as the day on which to execute, the job will execute on the last day of February (28th or 29th), and on the 30th of the other months.
Trigger on these days of the week
The job will be executed on the days of the week you specify, in each of the months you have selected in the Months list.
Trigger __ days {before/after} the {occurrence} {day} {relative to}
This option allows you to build complex rules to specify the date. For example:
The first business day of each month (Show example)
The third Tuesday of each month (Show example)
The day after the last business day of each month (Show example)
The Tuesday after the fourth Sunday of March (show example)
The nearest business day to Christmas (Show example)
Clicking the Select button allows you to specify the date that the rule is relative to:
Decide whether your floating date can be specified relative to the beginning of the month (as in the first four examples listed above) or must be specified relative to some specific or floating date (as in the Christmas example above).
If the date is relative to the beginning of the month, select the "relative to the beginning of the month" option.
If the date is relative to another date, select the "relative to a specific day..." option, then click the Select... button. This will display a new Day Selection window, where you may use any of the available options to define your starting date.
Once you have decided on a starting point, decide which day of the week should serve as the basis for your rule, and select it.
Then select the occurrence (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) of that day within the month.
Finally, you may specify a number of days before or after the selected date (enter "0" to use the selected date itself).
Trigger __ days {before/after} the last day of the month
Use this option to run the job on the last day of each month, or a certain number of days before or after the last day.
Trigger __ days {before/after} Easter
Use this option to run this job on Easter, or a specified number of days before or after Easter. adTempus calculates the date for Easter each year and runs the job accordingly.
