Automic Workload Automation

The first time I needed to do an "every other week" rule I simply created a WEEKLY keyword, selected the desired day of the week, and told it to use Every 2 weeks.   In some cases this might be good enough.  And it works perfectly for years that have 52 weeks.  However some years have 53 weeks in them, so that when a new year starts, it doesn't work as desired.

The solution (that someone else in these forums taught me) is to just set it up as a static keyword, set its validity period far out into the future, and then use the "calendar assistant" feature to populate it with the desired dates.  Works like a charm!

Hi,

I am trying to create a keyword for "first weekday of the month" with no luck.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi

do you mean the first workingday?

First weekday would be a simple monthly Calendar keyword with 1st of month selected.

First workingday is quite simple as well:

* create a weekly keyword including MON...FRI

* Create a group keyword using the keyword above and "And NONE of the Cale UC_Holidays_XYZ" to exclude holidays

* create a monthly keyword e.g. monthly_1st including the first day only

* create a roll keyword using keyword monthly_1st and adjust +0 and use valid days from group_workingdays

thats it :-)

cheers, Wolfgang

Thanks Wolfgang! That worked like a charm :-)

you're welcome :-)
