AJS - immediately transfer calendar changes to job planning entries

Licence Program 5770-JS1:
If a calendar (run, holiday and fiscal) is changed, the properties of the affected jobs should be automatically and immediately adjusted accordingly.


Use Case:

Several jobs are controlled via the calendar RUN and the holiday calendar HOLIDAY. The next run of jobs is scheduled to be suspended. The corresponding date is entered in the HOLIDAY calendar.

This should have an immediate effect without manual intervention.

    This is working as designed. If it is necessary to change a calendar, it may be necessary to Reset (reschedule) jobs that use the calendar that you have changed. You can do this by using Option 6 to work with jobs that use the calendar that you have changed.

    The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a MEDIUM priority requirement that should be addressed.

    Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ ibm.biz/BdYSYj and the article "The Five Hottest IBM i RFEs Of The Quarter" at ibm.biz/BdYSZT

    IBM has modified some of the information in this request. Please contact us if you have any questions.

    In particular, there is no ASJ. It looks like it is the Advanced Job Scheduler, which is 5770-JS1, so text was updated in the Headline and Description.
