Example: Configuring a Service to Be Active During Nonwork Hours
This example shows how to configure a schedule for an Internet gold service to be active:
The example uses the Internet-GoldAuth service. This service is based on the Internet-Gold service in the sample data with the addition of the scheduleAuth plug-in defined as the authorization plug-in for the service.
- Deactivates the Internet-GoldAuth service from 8:30 AM through 4:29 PM.
- Activates the service at 4:30 PM.
- Does not have a preparation time configured for the SAE.
This configuration avoids schedule overlap.
For demonstration purposes, the sample schedule is configured under o=Services to make the service schedule available to all subscribers to the Internet-GoldAuth service.
To configure a schedule to make a service available outside work hours and on January 1:
- In the SDX Admin navigation pane, right-click o=Services and select New > Service Schedule.
- In the New Service Schedule dialog box, enter a name for the schedule; for example, afterHours.
The name of the schedule appears in the Service Schedule pane.
- In the Description field of the Service Schedule pane, enter a description for the schedule.
- In the Service Schedule pane, click New.
The Schedule Event dialog box appears.
- In the Schedule tab, specify that the schedule start at 8 AM on Monday through Friday and end at 4:29 PM (that is, 16:29) on Monday through Friday.
