NAME

       calendar_conf - Sun Grid Engine calendar configuration file format

DESCRIPTION

       calendar_conf  reflects  the  format  of  the  Sun Grid Engine calendar
       configuration. The definition of calendars is used to specify "on duty"
       and  "off  duty"  time  periods for Sun Grid Engine queues on a time of
       day, day of week or  day  of  year  basis.  Various  calendars  can  be
       implemented and the appropriate calendar definition for a certain class
       of jobs can be attached to a queue.

       calendar_conf entries can be added, modified  and  displayed  with  the
       -Acal,  -acal,  -Mcal,  -mcal,  -scal and -scall options to qconf(1) or
       with the calendar configuration dialog of the graphical user  interface
       qmon(1).

       Note,  Sun Grid Engine allows backslashes (\) be used to escape newline
       (\newline) characters. The backslash and the newline are replaced  with
       a space (" ") character before any interpretation.

FORMAT

   calendar_name
       The name of the calendar to be used when attaching it to queues or when
       administering   the   calendar   definition.   See   calendar_name   in
       sge_types(1) for a precise definition of valid calendar names.

   year
       The  queue  status  definition  on  a day of the year basis. This field
       generally will specify on which days of a year (and optionally at which
       times  on  those days) a queue, to which the calendar is attached, will
       change to a certain state. The syntax of the year field is  defined  as
       follows:

       year:=
           { NONE
           | year_day_range_list=daytime_range_list[=state]
           | year_day_range_list=[daytime_range_list=]state
           | state}

       Where

       o  NONE means, no definition is made on the year basis

       o  if  a  definition  is  made  on  the  year  basis,  at  least one of
          year_day_range_list, daytime_range_list and state always have to  be
          present,

       o  all day long is assumed if daytime_range_list is omitted,

       o  switching the queue to "off" (i.e. disabling it) is assumed if state
          is omitted,

       o  the queue is assumed to  be  enabled  for  days  neither  referenced
          implicitly (by omitting the year_day_range_list) nor explicitly

       and the syntactical components are defined as follows:

         year_day_range_list := {yearday-yearday|yearday},...
         daytime_range_list :=  hour[:minute][:second]-
                                hour[:minute][:second],...
         state :=     {on|off|suspended}
         year_day :=  month_day.month.year
         month_day := {1|2|...|31}
         month :=     {jan|feb|...|dec|1|2|...|12}
         year :=      {1970|1971|...|2037}

   week
       The  queue  status  definition  on  a day of the week basis. This field
       generally will specify on which days of a week (and optionally at which
       times  on  those days) a queue, to which the calendar is attached, will
       change to a certain state. The syntax of the week field is  defined  as
       follows:

       week:=
           { NONE
           | week_day_range_list[=daytime_range_list][=state]
           | [week_day_range_list=]daytime_range_list[=state]
           | [week_day_range_list=][daytime_range_list=]state} ...

       Where

       o  NONE means, no definition is made on the week basis

       o  if  a  definition  is  made  on  the  week  basis,  at  least one of
          week_day_range_list, daytime_range_list and state always have to  be
          present,

       o  every day in the week is assumed if week_day_range_list is omitted,

       o  syntax  and  semantics of daytime_range_list and state are identical
          to the definition given for the year field above,

       o  the queue is assumed to  be  enabled  for  days  neither  referenced
          implicitly (by omitting the week_day_range_list) nor explicitly

       and where week_day_range_list is defined as

         week_day_range_list := {weekday-weekday|weekday},...
         week_day :=  {mon|tue|wed|thu|fri|sat|sun}

       with week_day ranges the week_day identifiers must be different.

SEMANTICS

       Successive  entries  to  the year and week fields (separated by blanks)
       are combined in compliance with the following rule:

       o  "off"-areas   are    overridden    by    overlapping    "on"-    and
          "suspended"-areas    and   "suspended"-areas   are   overridden   by
          "on"-areas.

       Hence an entry of the form

         week  12-18 tue=13-17=on

       means that queues referencing the corresponding calendar  are  disabled
       the  entire week from 12.00-18.00 with the exception of Tuesday between
       13.00-17.00 where the queues are available.

       o  Area overriding occurs only within a  year/week  basis.  If  a  year
          entry  exists  for  a  day then only the year calendar is taken into
          account and no area overriding is done with a  possibly  conflicting
          week area.

       o  the  second time specification in a daytime_range_list may be before
          the first one and treated as expected. Thus an entry of the form

            year  12.03.2004=12-11=off

          causes the queue(s) be disabled 12.03.2004 from 00:00:00 -  10:59:59
          and 12:00:00 - 23:59:59.

EXAMPLES

       (The    following    examples    are   contained   in   the   directory
       $SGE_ROOT/util/resources/calendars).

       o  Night, weekend and public holiday calendar:

          On public holidays "night" queues are explicitly enabled. On working
          days queues are disabled between 6.00 and 20.00. Saturday and Sunday
          are implicitly handled as enabled times:

            calendar_name  night
            year           1.1.1999,6.1.1999,28.3.1999,30.3.1999-
            31.3.1999,18.5.1999-19.5.1999,3.10.1999,25.12.1999,26
            .12.1999=on
            week           mon-fri=6-20

       o  Day calendar:

          On public holidays "day"-queues are disabled. On working  days  such
          queues  are closed during the night between 20.00 and 6.00, i.e. the
          queues are also closed on Monday from 0.00 to  6.00  and  on  Friday
          from 20.00 to 24.00. On Saturday and Sunday the queues are disabled.

            calendar_name  day
            year           1.1.1999,6.1.1999,28.3.1999,30.3.1999-
            31.3.1999,18.5.1999-19.5.1999,3.10.1999,25.12.1999,26
            .12.1999
            week           mon-fri=20-6 sat-sun

       o  Night, weekend and public holiday calendar with suspension:

          Essentially the same scenario as the first example  but  queues  are
          suspended instead of switching them "off".

            calendar_name  night_s
            year           1.1.1999,6.1.1999,28.3.1999,30.3.1999-
            31.3.1999,18.5.1999-19.5.1999,3.10.1999,25.12.1999,26
            .12.1999=on
            week           mon-fri=6-20=suspended

       o  Day calendar with suspension:

          Essentially  the  same scenario as the second example but queues are
          suspended instead of switching them "off".

            calendar_name  day_s
            year           1.1.1999,6.1.1999,28.3.1999,30.3.1999-
            31.3.1999,18.5.1999-19.5.1999,3.10.1999,25.12.1999,26
            .12.1999=suspended
            week           mon-fri=20-6=suspended sat-sun=suspended

       o  Weekend calendar with suspension, ignoring public holidays:

          Settings are only done on the week basis, no settings  on  the  year
          basis (keyword "NONE").

            calendar_name  weekend_s
            year           NONE
            week           sat-sun=suspended
