Adding a Service Schedule for Scopes (C-Web Interface)

To add a service schedule for scopes:

1. Click Configure, expand Services, and click the specified scope.

   The Scope:<name> pane appears.

2. From the Create new list, select Schedule.
3. In the dialog box, enter a name for the new Schedule, and click OK.

   The Schedule:<name> pane appears.

4. In the Description box, type a unique name for the service schedule, and click Apply.

Setting the Time Schedule (C-Web Interface)

Before you configure the time schedule, create the schedule.

When you set up a time schedule for an event, you specify:

• For event schedules—Time at which an action is to occur; the from date and time information
• For schedules for services that have authorization configured—Beginning and end of the interval; the to date and time information
• For exclusions—Times to be excluded from that schedule

To configure the time schedule:

1. Click Configure, and navigate to the specified service schedule.
2. From the Create new list, select Except (to set an exclusion).
3. In the dialog box, type a name for the new Except. The specified name is not stored as an identifier, so the arbitrary value can be as simple as a number.
4. Click From in the side pane.

   The From pane appears.

5. Click the Create button.

   The From pane reappears. This pane allows you to specify the effective period in which to schedule the event. This period is the interval after the associated from or to time during which the scheduled action can be initiated by a subscriber who is logging in to a subscriber session.

6. Enter the information as described in the Help text in the main pane, and click Apply.
7. Click To in the side pane.

   The To pane appears.

8. Click the Create button.

   The To pane reappears. This pane allows you to specify the effective period in which to schedule the event. This period is the interval after the associated from or to time during which the scheduled action can be initiated by a subscriber who is logging in to a subscriber session.

9. Enter the information as described in the Help text in the main pane, and click Apply.

Setting the Action (C-Web Interface)

Before you configure the time schedule, create the schedule.

To configure the actions for the service schedule:

1. Click Configure, and navigate to the specified service schedule.
2. Click Event in the side pane.

   The Event: <name> pane appears.

3. From the Create new list:
   1. Select Action.
   2. In the dialog box, type a name for the new Action, and click OK. The specified name is not stored as an identifier, so the arbitrary value can be as simple as a number.

      The Action: <name> pane appears.

4. Enter the information as described in the Help text in the main pane, and click Apply.
   • The Type values (deny and deny-deactivate) apply only to services that have an authorization plug-in configured. For more information, see Authorizing Scheduled Services (C-Web Interface) .
   • For more information about the Substitution box, see the activateService method of the SAE external interface in the SAE CORBA remote API documentation on the Juniper Networks Web site at
