The DBA Planning Calendar provides easy-to-use predefined action patterns specific to each database platform. You specify a reference time, on the basis of which all schedules are defined. It is possible later to delete an action pattern. For more information about how to change actions in a pattern, see Scheduling Actions in the DBA Planning Calendar. However, SAP recommends you to use a predefined action pattern.

You are ready to use CCMS. Refer to Getting Started in CCMS with Informix DBA.

1. Choose Tools ® CCMS ® DB Administration ® DBA Planning Calendar ® Calendar ® Action Pattern.
2. Select a predefined action pattern.
3. Enter the time at which the key action is to be carried out.

The system suggests an appropriate time, which you can accept if you want. The system uses this time to work out the schedule for the activities in the action pattern.

If there are conflicts between the action pattern you have chosen and activities that are already scheduled in the Planning Calendar, then the system presents a list of the conflicts.

4. If there are conflicts, do the following:
1. Print the list with the Shift-F1 key combination. Then choose Cancel. No activities from the new action pattern are scheduled.
2. Review and eliminate the conflicts before trying to schedule the action pattern again.
5. To delete a predefined action pattern, you have to delete the next scheduled occurrence of the action that was scheduled as part of an action pattern. All future scheduling of the action is deleted.
6. Make sure that the required resources are available when an action is scheduled to run.
