Overview
The Schedules & Calendars Advanced module builds on the Automic User Essentials and provides in-depth coverage of time-based automation in Broadcom Automic Automation V26. Participants learn how to design Schedule objects (JSCH) with Period Duration and Period Turnaround Time, add and configure tasks with Start Times and Start Offsets, and build layered Calendar objects (CALE) from Non-Recurring, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly, Group and Offset Calendar Events. In Tricise University, the module is part of both the User Path and the Operator Path.
The module covers Calendar conditions on Schedule tasks (Execute if all, no or one condition matches), the runtime status ENDED_INACTIVE and its return codes, Time Zone objects (TZ) for global rollouts including Daylight Saving Time, and script functions such as CALE_LOOK_AHEAD, SYS_LDATE and :SET_CALE. With the new Automation Assistant, participants analyze the last execution of a Schedule with AI support — summary, root-cause analysis and recommended solutions. Five practical use cases and five hands-on exercises round out the module, which is available as an English and a German course.

Who should attend
Automic developers & object designers
Staff who build and maintain Schedule objects (JSCH), Calendars (CALE) and Calendar conditions in the Process Assembly perspective.
IT operations teams
Professionals who monitor scheduled processes in production and need to interpret statuses such as ENDED_INACTIVE correctly.
Automation engineers
Experienced users who want to map complex business rules — working days, holidays, maintenance windows and quarter boundaries — into reusable Calendar Events.
Automic administrators
Those responsible for company-wide Calendars in Client 0 and for time zone handling in global rollouts.
Builds on Automic User Essentials. Prior experience with Automic Automation is required — this is an advanced module, not an entry-level course. Participants should be comfortable working in the Process Assembly perspective of the Automic Web Interface (AWI), creating and executing Jobs (JOBS) and Workflows (JOBP) including manual execution, and handling Automic objects, folder structures and the Process Monitoring perspective. A basic understanding of the Automation Engine scripting language (as covered in Automic User Essentials and, optionally, Automic User Script Essentials), of business requirements for time-based processing such as working days, holidays and maintenance windows, and of systems across multiple time zones is helpful but not mandatory.
Learning outcomes
Design Schedules with precise time control
Participants define Schedule objects with Period Duration and Period Turnaround Time, place tasks with Start Times and Start Offsets, and assign Time Zone objects so that global rollouts run at local times — including Daylight Saving Time handling.
Build layered, reusable Calendars
Attendees assemble Calendars from Non-Recurring, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly, Group and Offset Calendar Events, attach Calendar conditions to individual Schedule tasks and read the status ENDED_INACTIVE and its return codes correctly.
Script date logic and analyze executions with AI
After the module, participants use script functions such as SYS_LDATE, CALE_LOOK_AHEAD and :SET_CALE in Pre-Process scripts and call the Automation Assistant from a Schedule to analyze its last execution.
Agenda
01
Schedule objects (JSCH)
- What a Schedule is: Period Duration, Period Turnaround Time and a new RunID per period
- Start Time, Start Offset and the Active checkbox · use case & exercise: Schedule with three different time patterns
- AI-supported analysis: Analyze Last Execution with the Automation Assistant, export as JSON or Markdown
02
Calendar objects (CALE)
- Calendar objects as containers for reusable Calendar Events and their layered composition
- Non-Recurring, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly, Group and Offset Events · standard Calendar Events from Client 0
- Best practices for small, maintainable Calendars · use case & exercise: building a layered WORKDAYS Calendar
03
Calendar conditions & statuses
- Calendar conditions on Schedule tasks via the Calendar tab
- Execute if all / no / one condition matches as AND, NOT and OR logic · ENDED_INACTIVE and its return codes
- Schedule Monitor and Reset Task · use case & exercise: workday task with maintenance-day exclusion
04
Time Zones & script functions
- Logical date and Time Zone objects (TZ) for local start times in global rollouts
- Daylight Saving Time handling · script functions such as CALE_LOOK_AHEAD, SYS_LDATE and :SET_CALE
- Use cases & exercises: a global Schedule, a Pre-Process script with CALE_LOOK_AHEAD
