freq_interval

The meaning of this parameter changes based on the value of the freq_type parameter:

• If freq_type equals 1 (one time) or 1024 (automatic schedule), freq_interval is not used and is set to 0.

• If freq_type equals 4 (daily), freq_interval is the number of days the schedule should repeat. For example, the parameters to run a schedule daily every 17 days are freq_type="4" and freq_interval="17".

• If freq_type equals 8 (weekly), freq_interval is the sum of the bit form values assigned to the days of the week. The bit form values are:

  • Sunday = 1

  • Monday = 2

  • Tuesday = 4

  • Wednesday = 8

  • Thursday = 16

  • Friday = 32

  • Saturday = 64

  For example, the parameters to run a schedule weekly on Monday and Saturday are freq_type="8" and freq_interval="66" and the parameters to run a schedule weekly on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are freq_type="8" and freq_interval="31".

• If freq_type equals 16 (monthly), freq_interval is the day of the month the schedule runs. For example, the parameters to run a schedule monthly on the thirteenth of every month are freq_type="16" and freq_interval="13".

• If freq_type equals 32 (monthly relative), freq_interval is the day of the week the schedule runs. Valid values are:

  • 1, for Sunday

  • 2, for Monday

  • 3, for Tuesday

  • 4, for Wednesday

  • 5, for Thursday

  • 6, for Friday

  • 7, for Saturday

  • 8, for any day

  • 9, for a weekday

  • 10, for a weekend day

• If freq_type equals 64 (yearly) or 128 (yearly relative), freq_interval is the day of the month the schedule runs.

pattern

subTasks

freq_recurrence_factor

The meaning of this parameter changes based on the value of the freq_type parameter:

• If freq_type equals 64 (yearly) or 128 (yearly relative), freq_recurrence_factor is the month the schedule runs. For example, the parameters to run a yearly schedule every July are freq_type="64" and freq_recurrence_factor="7".

• If freq_type equals 4 (daily), 8 (weekly), 16 (monthly) or 32 (monthly relative), freq_recurrence_factor is set to 1 (one time).

• If freq_type equals 1 (one time) or 1024 (automatic schedule), freq_recurrence_factor is set to 0.

pattern

subTasks

freq_relative_interval

The meaning of this parameter changes based on the value of the freq_type parameter:

• If freq_type equals 32 (monthly relative) or 128 (yearly relative), freq_relative_interval is the ordinal numbers indicating when the schedule runs. Use with the freq_interval parameter. Valid values are:

  • 1, if the exception occurs on the first n

  • 2, if the exception occurs on the second n

  • 3, if the exception occurs on the third n

  • 4, if the exception occurs on the fourth n

  • 5, if the exception occurs on the last n

• If freq_type equals any other value, freq_recurrence_factor is set to 0.

exception

The option to set an exception for a repeating schedule. Multiple exceptions can be added for the repeating schedule:

<repeatPattern exception="true" occurrence="1" onDay="1" onDayNumber="0"/>
<repeatPattern exception="true" occurrence="0" onDay="0" onDayNumber="268435460"/>

Use the occurrence and the onDay or the onDayNumber parameters to define the exception.

Valid values are True/False.

repeatPattern

pattern

occurrence

The ordinal numbers indicating when the exception to a repeating schedule occurs. Use this parameter with the onDay parameter or the onDayNumber parameter.

Valid values are:

• 0, if the exception occurs on specific days of the month

• 1, if the exception occurs on the first n

• 2, if the exception occurs on the second n

• 4, if the exception occurs on the third n

• 8, if the exception occurs on the fourth n

• 16, if the exception occurs on the last n

  For example, if a repeating schedule skips the fourth Friday of the month, then the parameter is occurrence="8". If a repeating schedule skips the last Friday of the month, then the parameter is occurrence="16".

repeatPattern

pattern

onDay

The day of the week indicating when the exception to a repeating schedule occurs. Use this parameter with the occurrence parameter.

Valid values are:

• 0, to use the onDayNumber parameter

• 1, for Sunday

• 2, for Monday

• 4, for Tuesday

• 8, for Wednesday

• 16, for Thursday

• 32, for Friday

• 64, for Saturday

• 128, for any day

• 256, for a weekday

• 512, for a weekend day

  For example, if a repeating schedule skips the fourth Friday of the month, then the parameters are occurrence="8" and onDay="32". If a repeating schedule skips the last weekday of the month, then the parameters are occurrence="16" and onDay="256".

repeatPattern

pattern

onDayNumber

The days of the month indicating when the exception to a repeating schedule occurs. Use this parameter with the occurrence parameter.

Valid values are the sum of the bit form values assigned to the days of the month. The bit form values are calculated as follows:

• first day = 1

• second to thirty-first day = 2⁽n^-1) where n is the day of the month

  For example, if a repeating schedule skips the first day and thirty-first day of the month, then the parameter is onDayNumber="1073741825" using the formula 1+2^(31-1). If a repeating schedule skips the third day and twenty-ninth day of the month, then the parameter is onDayNumber="268435460" using the formula 2^(3-1)+2^(29-1).
