No New Launches Generated for Enabled Non-Template Tasks

Issue/Introduction
No new launches are created even when tasks are enabled and are not configured as templates.
Expected Behavior: Enabled non-template tasks should have their launch dates automatically calculated by the engine, triggering executions according to their defined schedule.
Actual Behavior: The Dollar Universe engine does not generate any scheduled dates or new launches for these specific tasks, leaving them inactive in the execution queue.
Environment
Product: Dollar Universe Application Server version 7.x
Cause
The affected non-template enabled tasks do not have any Rule(s) or execution criteria defined.
Dollar Universe scheduling relies on specific criteria to calculate execution timelines. If a task lacks scheduling parameters, the calculation engine yields an empty set of execution dates, resulting in no launches being created.
Resolution
Please make sure the tasks have rule(s).
Scheduling essentially comprises:
Implicit scheduling: use of scheduling/exclusion rules or a cycle. The scheduled/excluded dates are calculated automatically by the calculator.
Explicit scheduling: definition of explicit dates by the user. Explicit scheduling allows the processing of scheduling cases that cannot be dealt with automatically by the implicit scheduling mechanism.
Tasks are scheduled by the accumulation of all dates: those obtained by the calculation of the rules and the explicit dates.
