Cause
The error:
U00011093 Cannot start task '<Task Name>'. See following message.2020-12-17 11:00:10 - U00007019 Access to calendar '<Calendar Name>', keyword: '<Calendar Event>' is out of the validity area ('2020-12-18 > 2020-12-17').
Means the time period (validity period) defined in the calendar object:
'<Calendar Name>'
with the following calendar event definitions:
'<Calendar Event>'
has expired.
Resolution
For STATIC or Non-recurring keywords:
- Open the calendar object
- Click on the edit icon for the keyword
- Update the "Maintained until" entry
For Weekly, Monthly, Yearly, Group, or Offset keywords:
- Open the calendar object that has the problem
- Open any keyword
- Make a "dummy" change - click a checkbox then unclick it, add a day remove the day, etc...
- Save the changes made
Updating one keyword like this will cause all other non-Non-Recurring keywords to be updated as well
Prevention
For monitoring and early prevention of hitting this error:
Monitor WP logs
Monitor WP logs for lines like:
U00007019 Access to calendar '<CALENDAR NAME>', keyword: <KEYWORD AREA>' is out of the validity area ('<VALID UNTIL DATE> > <TODAY'S DATE>').
Use CALE_WARN_* client settings
There is a UC_CLIENT_SETTING called CALE_WARN_LEVEL which pairs with CALE_WARN_NOTIFICATION. The documentation on these is fairly limited but can be found here: https://docs.automic.com/documentation/webhelp/english/AA/12.3/DOCU/12.3/Automic%20Automation%20Guides/help.htm#AWA/Variables/UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS/UC_CLIENT_CALENDAR_Parameters.htm
You can set CALE_WARN_LEVEL to a certain threshold of days like 30. Set CALE_WARN_NOTIFICATION to an object that can be executed like a notification object. You can use the following to read the calendar info into the object and print them out:
:READ &UC_CAUSE_NAME,,
:PRINT "The calendar &UC_CAUSE_NAME is expiring, please check"
Community discussion
There are some SQL statements some customer have found that can help check for keywords that are outside a validity period: https://community.broadcom.com/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?MID=786584
Additional Information
Alternatively you can implement NOW_PLUS key in the UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS and push the number of years in the future that can be used to perform calculations based of your Calendar Event Definitions defined above.
