  2. Coding the Delays Schedule Tag

Coding the Delays Schedule Tag

You must use the following format if you code the delays_schedule tag:

  • To specify a day of the week, use MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI, SAT, or SUN.

  • To specify a day, use one of the following formats:

    • yyyy/mm/dd

    • mm/dd

    • dd

    • where:

    • yyyy/mm/dd is the year, month, and day.

  • You can use the DaySpec attribute to specify a delay in milliseconds.

If you include the day and date, then the date takes precedence. In the following example, Siebel CRM Desktop uses 2011/12/16. It does not use MON:

<request_delay DaySpec="MON" "2011/12/16" StartTime="12:00:00" EndTime="13:00:00" 
DelayMsecs="6000" />

Example Code That Controls the Time and Day When Siebel CRM Desktop Synchronizes

The following code controls the time and day when Siebel CRM Desktop synchronizes:

<delays_schedule>
  <request_delay DaySpec="SUN" StartTime="10:22:17" EndTime="16:34:07" DelayMsecs="6000" /> 
  <request_delay DaySpec="MON" StartTime="12:00:00" EndTime="13:00:00" DelayMsecs="6000" /> 
  <request_delay DaySpec="TUE" StartTime="12:00:00" EndTime="13:00:00" DelayMsecs="6000" /> 
  <request_delay DaySpec="WED" StartTime="12:00:00" EndTime="13:00:00" DelayMsecs="6000" /> 
  <request_delay DaySpec="THU" StartTime="12:00:00" EndTime="17:00:00" DelayMsecs="6000" /> 
  <request_delay DaySpec="FRI" StartTime="12:00:00" EndTime="13:00:00" DelayMsecs="6000" /> 
  <request_delay DaySpec="SAT" StartTime="12:00:00" EndTime="13:00:00" DelayMsecs="6000" /> 
  <request_delay DaySpec="2009/09/01" StartTime="12:00:00" EndTime="13:00:00" DelayMsecs="6000" /> 
  <request_delay DaySpec="2009/12/31" StartTime="12:00:00" EndTime="13:00:00" DelayMsecs="6000" /> 
  <request_delay DaySpec="05/07" StartTime="12:00:00" EndTime="13:00:00" DelayMsecs="6000" />
