How can we add new dates in a standard calendar in batch mode?
Environment
Workload Automation AE (Any Release )
Resolution
The first method is to export your calendar in a file, add the new dates to the end of the file, and import the updated file.
Steps :
- Use the following command to export the calendar into a file :
autocal_asc –s calendar_name –E file_name
- Edit the generated file and add the new dates at the end of the file
calendar: test2
description:
12/29/2016 00:00
12/30/2016 00:00
12/31/2016 00:00
- Then import the updated file by using the command :
autocal_asc –s calendar_name –I file_name -F
( -F Force overwrite calendars on import)
The second method is to create a file to add the new dates in the standard calendar with the following syntax (without using the export and import commands) :
- Create a file with calendar name, letter "A" for "Add" followed by the NEW dates:
$ vi file.txt
calendar_name
A
Date
Date
Date
- Use the redirection syntax to add the dates :
$ autocal_asc < file.txt
For example:
holiday_2016
A
01/04/2016
02/04/2016
03/04/2016
04/04/2016
Then run the autocal_asc command with the redirection operator to import the calednar
autocal_asc < dates.txt
