Teacher/Student 9 day scheduling - 9 day schedule (within a 5 day week)

hi there everyone,
I work in the Quebec school system using a 9 day repeating schedule which is causing me all sorts of headaches trying to use repeating events...
what I am trying to do:
enter in my daily schedules for all of the 9 days having them each repeat nine days later (excluding weekends) for an entire school term. This requires being able to exclude or skip weekends and certain weekdays (professional development days etc) in order to have the 9 day schedule repeat properly.
what i have done so far:
i was able to gain some success by changing the ical preferences to display only 5 days, but then when i repeat an event (telling it to repeat every 9 days) it counts Saterday and Sunday therefore putting the event in the wrong place.
is there a way to exclude a day from being counted when setting events to repeat? ie weekends and pro-d days?
any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated!
thanks,
ben

i have worked out a work around... I entered in my first 9 days and then had each event repeat every 11 days (9 days plus a weekend) which worked out for the first week. then for the following weeks I individually changed the preceding week's event repeat times, adding or subtracting days whenever neccessary to corespond to the number of uncountable days (weekends and pro-d days)
while this works it is far too time consuming...
for the next term I will use the custom, monthly option and select the approprate dates for each month which will likely be more efficient...
it would be even more efficient to be able to enter in each date that you would like the event (or series of events) to repeat on (like the custom, monthly option except being able to continue on to the next month and the next etc.)

  • Is it possible to schedule updates for a specific time of day like 12am?

    Is it possible to schedule updates for a specific time of day like 12am?

    No. If you use Automatic Updates, the apps update when the updates are available. Read this for a little more information.

  • Trying to identify why a client patched a day after it's scheduled time. WUA off by GPO, 2/3 patches not in sccm repository.

    Hi All,
    I have one machine in a collection 33 that apparently patched and rebooted a day after it's scheduled patch window.  This client normally patches the 3rd Sunday of every month.  I have 2 reboot task sequences to make sure the client is ready to
    receive patches and another later on after patches should have installed to insure the machine is compliant.  Both task sequences went off when they were supposed to, but yesterday the server (w2k8 r2 standard) patched 3 updates and rebooted.  Automatic
    updates is disabled by GPO.  So I'm pretty sure it wasn't that.  What's vexing me is that two of the three patches are not in the sccm repository nor in the update list.  So I think I can safely say that those two didn't come from sccm
    doing it's own thing.  Least I would think at least.  I see in the windows update log the three patches and their time stamps.  What I need to be able to determine is why would sccm patch this client the following day.  Is this a wmi issue? 
    Is there something in a particular log I should be looking for? 
    Any direction would be great.  Thanks!

    Hi Mark,
    That crossed my mind as well.  One of the three patches was in the repository but I checked 3 times for the other two and they are not there, so it made me consider someone manually doing it.  I did check the security log, but I was finding tons
    of system account logons or other processes we have said up to log in.  I didn't find a user login.  I'm assuming based on this small snippet from the windowsupdate.log that it is config agent doing the updates. The first update I have in the repository,
    the last two are not there.  If someone can direct me to what I should be looking for that would be great.

  • Scheduling process chain 3 specific times a day

    Hi ,
    my requirement is to schedule a process chain 3 times a day.
    i have gone through the forum and got the solution EVENTS.
    please provide me how to do this in detail like step by step.
    how to create a event in SM64 and how we will define the time there.
    and creating a ZPROGRAM with the function module (please provide step bystep).
    thanks
    Sridhar

    You create user events in SM62.  In SM62, next to "User even names", click on <b>Maintain</b> and press Enter.  Click on the Create icon to create a new event (let's call it ZEVENT).
    Next, in your process chain, change the Start variant to be scheduled "After event", and put in ZEVENT for the event name.  Also, click on the "Periodic job" at the bottom.  This will automatically reschedule the jobs for the process chain after it executes.
    Next, create an ABAP program (let's call it Z_EVENT_RAISE) to call the function module BP_EVENT_RAISE.  You're code can look like this:
    REPORT Z_EVENT_RAISE.
    PARAMETERS: P_EVENT LIKE TBTCO-EVENTID.
    CALL FUNCTION 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'
    EXPORTING
    EVENTID = P_EVENT.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    * MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
    * WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
    ENDIF.
    This ABAP program will prompt for an event name, so you will need to create a variant (let's call it ZEVENT) which will save the value of the event name (also ZEVENT).  You will need the variant name to be able to trigger the event in a batch job.
    Now all you need is the batch job.  Use tcode SM36 to create a batch job where you call the ABAP program (Z_EVENT_RAISE) using the variant (ZEVENT).
    Note, SM64 only triggers an event manually.
    Does this help?
    Oh, and you can copy this job to schedule it three times a day.

  • Oracle Scheduler: create different schedule time per day

    Hi,
    Is it possible to create different schedule times based on the day?
    Example I've schedule a backup-job to run every day @ 23h
    So i configured my job as :
       execute dbms_scheduler.set_attribute(name=>'DAILY_BACKUP_JOB',attribute=>'repeat_interval',value=>'FREQ=DAILY;BYHOUR=23;BYMINUTE=00');
    But now I want to fine tune this and I like to start the job every sunday @ 21h.
    is this possible to configure this is the same job? Or do I have to create 2 separate jobs for it? One for MON - SAT @ 23h and another for SUN @ 21h?
    Kind regards,

    Hi,
    You can create 2 schedules and assign them to your job:
    BEGIN  
    -- week days  
    dbms_scheduler.create_schedule('week_days_sched', repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY;BYDAY=MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI,SAT;BYHOUR=23');  
    -- sunday   
    dbms_scheduler.create_schedule('sunday_sched', repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY;BYDAY=SUN;BYHOUR=21');  
    END;  
    Now specify these 2 schedules for your job:
    BEGIN  
    dbms_scheduler.set_attribute( name => 'YOUR_JOB', attribute => 'repeat_interval', value => 'week_days_sched,sunday_sched');
    END;

  • HT201318 How do I downgrade my iCloud storage and get a refund within the 15 days?

    Help!
    How do I downgrade my iCloud storage and get a refund within the 15 days?
    I recently up-graded from 10 to 20GB in the middle of my storage plan, but I've changed my mind. How can I get a refund and revert my account back to its previous settings?

    If in the US, follow the link below (you must request a refund within 15 days) -

  • Does verizon still have a price guarantee if you are within your 14 day return window?

    Hello,
    I bought a RAZR MAXX HD for $299.99 and plan off Verizon's website on 12/13. Phone delivered to my house 12/14 and activated 12/15.
    On 12/18 I notice on Verizon's website that phone is now $249.99. I had heard that as long as you are within your 14-day return window,
    you can get a credit for the price difference. Sounds good!
    Here's where the misery begins:
    - 12/19 I call customer service @ *611 and am told I am SOL. I could return the phone and order again, but
    would be charged a $35 restocking fee.
    - 12/19 Stopped in a Verizon corporate store and was told if I had bought the phone in store they would be
    able to credit my account $50 (and also that they do it all the time). Told me to call *611 and talk and ask
    for Telesales.
    - 12/19 Called *611 again and asked for Telesales. After being transferred about 4 times, gain told I am SOL.
    So, frankly, I've been a Verizon customer for less than a week and am already regretting the decision to switch to them. Why?
    1) I don't think my expectation of getting the lower price within the 14-day return window is unreasonable.
    2) I don't understand why buying the phone off Verizon's website versus buying it in their corporate retail store should make
    a difference in whether they can give me a price difference credit or not. If there is a policy, it should apply across the board
    within Verizon (it's not like I bought this phone at a 3rd party retail store or website.)
    3) I'll also throw this in; I have extensive experience in sales/customer service and when calling other companies service
    learned a long time ago to always ask for names, however, I noticed when being transferred around while asking for Telesales
    almost everyone I spoke to before being transferred again was reluctant to divulge their name when asked for it.
    If anyone has any suggestions and/or if any Verizon customer representatives on here can help out I'd appreciate it. Otherwise
    the clock is ticking on my return window and I might just return it, eat the restocking fee, choose another carrier/phone and
    never consider Verizon for anything ever again.
    Thanks again.

    I would like to say I bought a Droid Maxx on 10/14 at $299. They then dropped the price to $199 a few days later. I called today 10/21 and said I had bought the phone a week ago and would like to be reimbursed the difference under the price guarantee. It took the lady a little while to get it all set up but she was very cordial and efficient and credited the $100 back to the account. If you are within the 14 day return window they should reimburse the difference. Makes sense for them to do so rather than have a perfectly good brand new phone returned just to buy the same phone.

  • Does anyone know how many times a newly purchased product (MB Air 2014) can be exchanged within the 14 day period?

    Does anyone know how many times a newly purchased product (MB Air 2014) can be exchanged within the 14 day period? I feel like the MB Pro would be a better fit for me, so I wanted to exchange my Air for the Pro. But also, if I end up not liking the Pro and want to go back to an Air, would I be permitted to do so with another exchange? (all still within the 14 day window after purchase of course).
    Also, are there any specifics I need to know in order to return my product and get a new one?  Obvioulsy, I would be sure to remove all of my personal files, music, etc...but is there anything else I need to do?
    And lastly, and im sure this question is irritating to you Mac wiz kids out there, but are the two models im comparing really all that different?  I just cant make up my mind and would love some pointers/suggestions/tips/info to help me figure out what model is best for me (the apple employee that was helping me in the store was actually not that helpful at all, if they were I wouldnt have to ask this question on a discussion board).  I do tons of multimedia things and download and enjoy music, tv shows, movies, all that stuff..and I used to love to burn dvds and cds (obviously cant do that with the MB Air now which totally bummed me out ).  Which model does anyone think I should stick with?  Id greatly appreciate some opinions! Really tho, help me out ppls! I'd love some helpful advice! I sometimes have problems making big/important/expensive decisions lol  I just really want to make sure i am getting the best model for all of my daily tasks and all of the things i actually do regularly on my computer.
    Oh, last lastly- I cant afford anything more than a 13" STANDARD MacBook Pro at the moment...soooo the Retina display is unfortunately not an option for me.
    Which is also a big bummer.but i think i can get over it...or beg someone to loan me an extra $200 lol
    Someone....Annnnyyyone....Pleeeeease....Heeelllllllp....
    Thanks

    Just play with each and figure out which one you want. I believe they only allow 1 exchange unless it is a defect issue. You can always return the exchanged item and rebuy what you want if they will not allow you to do multiple exchanges.
    But again, you need to really figure out which one you want.

  • I would like to cancel my subscription, I am within the 30 day initial period.

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    I would like to cancel my subscription, it seems very difficult to do so - despite still being within the initial 30 day trial period!!!

    Hi Bev,
    Thanks for the response - however I wish it were as SIMPLE as clicking on the link you supplied. I tried this myself before posting here. For someone who is attempting to cancel within the 30 day period - there is no automated button that one can click on. Instead you have to 'speak to an advisor' - for which there is a verrrry long
    waiting time.
    However I did perservere (after all, I was keen to avoid any billing charges) - Anyway when I did finally get through - I was offered all sorts of incentives to stay - until I had to ask if I had accidentally been put through to 'sales' instead of 'customer services'!!!
    Anyway, I (think) finally managed to cancel - hope it all goes through as expected!!!

  • Need help: Cancelling Wirefly contract within first 14 days

    Ok so here's the story:
    My Family plan 2 yr contract with Verizon was going to end on May, 28 2011.  However, I was eligible for a NE2 upgrade.  I decided to get the HTC Thunderbolt, and WIREFLY.com had a special price.  So, I decided to enter into a new 2 year agreement with them in order to qualify for the HTC Thunderbolt pricing.  It's been 7 days since I activated my contract with wirefly.  I've decided not to keep the Thunderbolt and get the iPhone instead.
    My question is, can I cancel my contract with wirefly without incurring an ETF with Verizon?  And by cancelling with wirefly, will my numbers be ported back to Verizon?
    Basically, to keep it simple, I want to undo everything I did with wirefly...biggest mistake I've ever made with purchasing mobile phones.
    I would totally stick with them IF they offered the iPhone, but unfortunately they do not.  The Android phone isn't what I had expected it to be.  So I hope I can undo what I did.
    Please help, any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    My question is, can I cancel my contract with wirefly without incurring an ETF with Verizon? When you made your purchase through Wirefly, you signed TWO contracts, one with Verizon for two years of service, and one with Wirefly, agreeing to maintain your service at the level you purchased for 6 months.  If you are within your 14 day return period, you will not owe an ETF to Verizon, but you MAY owe an ETF to Wirefly.  You will need to carefully read the paperwork you signed with Wirefly to determine what their return policies are.  And by cancelling with wirefly, will my numbers be ported back to Verizon? Your number was never ported away from Verizon.  Wirefly is a third party vendor that sells Verizon phones and service.
    Basically, to keep it simple, I want to undo everything I did with wirefly...biggest mistake I've ever made with purchasing mobile phones. Call them and ask for the return period and procedure for making the return.  I would call immediately, since you have to mail the phone back to them, and they may need to recieve it by a certain day.
