Holidays

This section explains how to configure holidays on the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller.

You can define holidays that the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller recognizes. Holidays are used to identify a class of days on which a local policy is enacted. All configured holidays are referenced in the local-policy-attributes configuration subelement as an H in the days-of-week parameter. Because holidays are entered on a one-time basis per year, you must configure a new set of holidays yearly.

Holidays Configuration

To configure holidays:

In Superuser mode, type configure terminal and press Enter.
```
ORACLE# configure terminal
```
Type session-router and press Enter to access the system-level configuration elements.
```
ORACLE(configure)# session-router
```
Type session-router-config and press Enter. The system prompt changes to let you know that you can begin configuring individual parameters.
```
ORACLE(session-router)# session-router-config
ORACLE(session-router-config)#
```
Type holidays and press Enter. The system prompt changes to let you know that you can begin configuring individual parameters.
```
ORACLE(session-router-config)# holidays
ORACLE(session-router-holidays)#
```
From this point, you can configure the holidays subelement. To view all holidays parameters, enter a ? at the system prompt.
```
holiday
                date                           2005-01-01
                description                    New Years Day
```
To configure a holiday, add an entry for the following parameters in the holidays element:
date—Enter the holiday’s date in YYYY-MM-DD format.
description—Enter a short description for the holiday you are configuring. If the description contains words separated by spaces, enter the full description surrounded by quotation marks.
