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.
