Creating Combined Schedulers

Schedulers can have combined intervals and exceptions.

 

Merged Intervals

The example below showed a merged intervals. It it a scheduler with two intervals combined, 07:00 - 17:00 and 17:00 - 19:00 Monday through Friday.

 

The merged scheduler is a scheduler with combined overlapping intervals. Note intervals with overlapping "edges" are also considered overlapping intervals, as shown above (the 17:00:00 is both the ending time and the starting time of two intervals).

 

The above scheduler is equivalent to a scheduler with a single "DailyInWeek" scheduler of 07:00:00-19:00:00 Monday through Friday.

 

Split Intervals

The example below showed a split interval. It it a scheduler with two non-overlapping intervals, 07:00 - 12:15 and 12:45 - 16:00 Monday through Friday.

 

The scheduler in above example will be triggered twice a day, 10 times a week. During each week day, it will be started once at 07:00 AM and stopped at 12:15 PM. It will then be started again at 12:45 PM and stopped at 16:00 PM.

 

 

Scheduler with Exceptions

The scheduler below is equivalent to the split scheduler defined above.

 

The "exception" creates a gap in an interval block. Thus splits one interval into two intervals.
