- Attach job execution calendar
- Detach job execution calendar
The Calendar is also used, for example, when setting up jobs (Use delivery calendar) and when defining a software policy (Evaluation tab: CCS calendar).
The DSM Explorer can display both the local calendar and the remote domain manager's calendar if you provide the name of the remote domain manager to the EM Connection Manager component. For more information, see the Unicenter NSM documentation.
