Using the Central Calendar

Procedure

Start Central Calendar from DBA Cockpit.

Choose Jobs Central Calendar .

If you have already run or planned actions, you see entries for each day, one for each system.

Here is an example of entries for Thursday February 8 affecting two systems, FUD and FIB:

3	FUD	2
4	FIB	1

On system FUD for Thursday February 8, there were three actions scheduled, two of which had the highest status severity. For example, the highest status severity for FUD might be “Finished with warning”, in which case the entry for FUD is displayed with a yellow background. This means that two actions ended with a warning.

On system FIB for the same day, there were four actions planned, one of which ended with the highest severity. For example, the highest severity for FIB might be “Finished with error”, in which case the entry for FIB is displayed with a red background. This means that one action ended with an error.

The following table shows the color-coded statuses in Central Calendar, which you can also see by choosing Legend:

Color	Status
Light blue	Planned
Dark blue	Running
Green	Finished successfully
Yellow	Finished with warning
Red	Finished with error
Dark yellow	No longer available
Dark red	Scheduling failed

To display a summary of the actions for a day, double-click the day header.
The system displays a summary of the actions and status for each system on the day you selected, as in the following example:

To display the actions for a particular system, double-click the entry for the system for a particular day.
You see the relevant day in DBA Planning Calendar. You can schedule jobs using DBA Planning Calendar.
To refresh the display for the system from which you called Central Calendar, choose Refresh.

To refresh the display for all systems, choose Remote Refresh.

You can remotely refresh the display as follows:

Method	How the Refresh Runs
Run in Dialog	Runs in dialog mode, which can take a long time, so not normally recommended
Start immediately	Runs immediately in the background as a job
Schedule at	Runs in the background at the time that you specify

Note Note

We recommend that you schedule the Central Calendar Log Collector to run regularly.

End of the note.

If required, you can customize the calendar display as follows:
- Specify a factory calendar in Calendar ID.
  Holidays are displayed with the same background color as weekend days. This in no way restricts the planning of actions in DBA Planning Calendar.
- To switch to day, week, or month view, choose Administration View Day Administration View Week or View Month.
- Choose Save Settings and change Number of Weeks or Entries per Day in the display
