Schedule Configuration Guidelines

Use the following guidelines when you plan and configure service schedules:

  • Do not configure schedules for services that are configured as persistent services on the router.
  • If activate-on-login is configured for a subscription, do not configure an effective period in a schedule for the associated service.

    Consider changing the configuration for this subscription to use an effective period, rather than activate-on-login.

  • Make sure you know the values for preparation time and action threshold that have been configured for the SAE.
  • Do not configure an effective period to overlap with an excluded time.
  • To avoid schedule conflicts, configure one service schedule to include all rules that control a service.
  • Determine whether or not a service to be scheduled has an authorization plug-in configured. If an authorization plug-in is configured for a service, you can create an authorization schedule for that service.
  • Create a schedule for a service under one of the following:
    • The subscriber tree (for example, o=Users)
    • The global service configuration (for example, o=Services)
    • A defined service scope (for example, o=Scopes)
  • Do not specify the time in a schedule entry that is more than 5 years in the past or 15 years in the future.
