Suppress global events for given dates or weekdays

Current Situation

• Out Conditions in Job Streams can create global events at any time.
• Such global events can be consumed by jobs in the same or in a different JobScheduler Master.

Desired Behavior

• Use Case
  • The first Job Stream creates a global event for a second Job Stream.
  • For specific dates or weekdays the first Job Stream should be executed without creating a global event for the second Job Stream. This is intended a temporary measure that should work without changing the basic configuration.
• Configuration
  • A list of individual dates can be added from the GUI.
  • A list of weekdays Mon-Sun can be added from the GUI.
  • The configuration to prevent global events from being created is assigned the job stream and is not related to jobs.

Dismissal

• This feature is already available to our users considering the following approach:
  • Instead of suppressing events for given dates it is preferable to create them for specific dates and not to create the for other dates.
  • This can be achieved by a dummy job with the sole purpose of creating a global event that is consumed by Job Streams. The run-time settings allow to run the job for specific dates, weekdays etc.
  • Users are free to organize their job that create global events, e.g. by storing them in the same folder or by using a common naming convention.
• In our perspective the ability to suppress global events directly in a Job Stream (instead of a job) does not provide any additional benefit when it comes to flexibility of run-time settings and visibility for which future dates a global event will be created.
