Build Gregorian Calendar
Use the Build Gregorian Calendar scheduled process to create the Gregorian calendar definition for a period of time, specified in years.
When to Use
Supply Chain Planning provides a Gregorian calendar definition for the years 2000 to 2035. Use the Build Gregorian Calendar scheduled process to extend the years in this calendar definition beyond 2035.
Privileges Required

Specifications
Review these specifications before setting up this scheduled process:
| Specification | Description |
| Job Type | Running it on a spontaneous basis is recommended, but it also can be scheduled as part of integrated job set. |
| Frequency | Only one time as an initial setup. You don't need to rerun the scheduled process unless you want to create the Gregorian calendar definition for additional years. |
| Time of Day | It can be submitted any time based on your requirements. |
| Duration | Typically, less than 5 minutes. |
| Compatibility | There should be only one instance of the job running and there’s no current functional need to run multiple instances of this process simultaneously. It’s not recommended to run this process while running Supply Chain plans or any data-collection-related scheduled process. |
Parameters
| Parameter | Optional or Required | Description | Parameter Value | Special Combinations Required | Notes |
| Start Year in YYYY Format | Required | Start year for Gregorian calendar generation | Provide the year in YYYY format. For example, 2036. | NA | |
| End Year in YYYY Format | Required | End year for Gregorian calendar generation | Provide the year in YYYY format. For example, 2046. |
The process is designed to create a Gregorian calendar definition for only 20 years at a time. However, you can specify any end-year value on the Scheduled Process UI. For example, if you specify 2036 as start year and 2057 as end year, then the process will fail and displays this message in the log file: Start Year, End Year difference cannot be more than 20 Years. Please enter years with a maximum difference of 20. |
