Hi everybody

 

Did someone find a way to calculate for example the easter holiday? Because it's so strangely calculated I wan't able to configure it as holiday in the schedule.

 

Thanks

Ok, there is no yearly designation on scheduled job, so I would probably start it Jan 10 and run it every 365 days.   That will give you 40 years of not needing to change it due to leap years.   That is probably more than any one system will ever need.



Something like this:

Hi Mike



That looks great - although I don't understand half of if - I'll try it after the Eureka release is in production in 2 weeks!



Thanks

As Kalaiarasan P suggests, I usually setup a scheduled job and notification that sends out a reminder to the SN admin group near the end of the year to update the holiday schedule.   Typically HR dictates the holidays so they just get the new dates from them.



I prefer that method over trying to automate it.   And you would have to do the same thing for most holidays, like Christmas, Canada Day, Independence Day (US), etc...
