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.
