Deployment Calendar

You can use the Deployment Calendar as a combined view in which you can view planned workflow executions and queue runs and workflow executions and queue runs which have been processed in the past for a selected environment.

The deployment calendar allows you to:

• Re-schedule executions and individual queue runs by drag-and-drop
• Import personal calendars via the Deployment Calendar via Settings
• Export the Deployment Calendar

Important! Restrictions:

• Only queue runs with a manual schedule can be rescheduled. Recurring queue runs cannot be re-sized.
• Single workflow executions do not have a duration unless they are completed and are shown as 30-minute blocks. Only finished executions are shown with their actual duration.

Systemwide calendars are configured by the administrator.

You can open the deployment calendar from the following two starting points:

• From the Environment view:
  1.  Open an environment.
  2.  Unfold the Advanced tab.
  3.  Click Calendar.
• From the Monitoring view:
  •   Click the calendar button in the toolbar.

User-defined calendars can be imported and displayed within the deployment calendar in two ways:

• Systemwide calendars are visible for all users (for example, public holidays, corporate calendars)
• Personal calendars are available for a single user only (for example, group calendars)

Exporting the Deployment Calendar

The export action in the toolbar generates a downloadable iCalendar-file named DeploymentCalendar.ics.

If multiple environments are selected, the exported iCalendar contains the information of all selected calendars in one single file.

The timespan for which to include the calendar information is defined in the configuration file. All other settings are taken over from the Deployment Calendar settings.
