Exclusion Calendars
You can configure exclusion calendars that specify days and times when processes, jobs or probes will not be run, for example public holidays or weekends. Exclusion calendars can be configured as:
- Weekly - to exclude days of the week. For example porting

You can also configure hours to be excluded when you configure a Weekly exclusion calender. - Holiday - for public holidays that fall on different days on the year, Good Friday in the UK, for example.
- Recurring Holidays - for public holidays that occur on the same date every year, for example Christmas Day on 25 December.

Add an Exclusion Calendar
You create new exclusion calendars by providing a description and specifying the weekdays, times or dates of the exclusion.
If you are creating a Weekly calendar, you can use the Invert Hours function to reverse your settings and create an exclusion calendar that invests the exclusion so that the time period you specify is not excluded, but in fact is the only time that the scheduled item will run.
