Using SAP Calendar for Process chains

Question

Hi Everyone,
Is there a way to schedule the daily process chains to run from Monday to Saturdays
We do not want to run them on Sundays or holidays. Holidays here will be defined by us.
So does factory calendar do the job?
Can we change the holidays in Factory calendar?
Any insights here will be very helpful.
Thankx
Kumar.

Hi.......
You can do it in the following way........
You create a job in SM36 >> Here in the first screen give the job name >> then click on Start condition>> there click on Date/time >> give Scheduled start date and time>> Then click on Restrictions tab ( beside periodic values) >> There give the Factory Calender id and select Do not execute jobs on Sundays or holidays >> then click on Peridic values and select Weekly >> create this job using the program : BTC_EVENT_RAISE..........and in its variant maintion the event(but before that create this event in SM62)
This job will give trigger this event.............maintain this event in the start condition of the process chain...............
Then this chain will not run on Sundays.........
Or you can directly do it in the Start variant of your Process chain.................Click on Restrict and make the settings.......
Hope this helps you......
Regards,
Debjani.......
