Create Facility Schedules Setup Data
The create facility schedules setup data is a scheduled process that is automatically run on your instance when a new schedule is created. As an administrator, you want the working and non-working days and times for a multiple year schedule to be generated in the background.
When to Use
The process will be created and run on your instance when any new schedule is saved having an overall duration of more than one year. We recommend that you don't stop this process, as it will result in incomplete data for the schedule.
Privileges Required
- Manage Schedules by Web Service (RCS_MANAGE_SCHEDULES_WEB_SERVICE_PRIV)
Specifications
In the event of a problem where schedules are not completely generated, review the following before setting up this scheduled process.

| Job Type | Ad hoc |
| Frequency | Once |
| Time of Day | As soon as possible. |
| Duration | Typically between five and twenty minutes. |
| Compatibility | Multiple jobs may be scheduled at the same time. However, each job may be required to construct many records depending upon the complexity of the patterns and shifts used in the schedule, scaled by the number of years of data between the start and end dates. If possible, it is recommended to run no more than one job at a time. |

Troubleshooting Information
- Schedule durations measured in decades are actively discouraged due to the volume of data each schedule must generate.
- Schedules with start dates more than two years in the past are actively discouraged due to the lack of use of the generated data by applications.
- You can view the status of the process in the Scheduled Processes work area.
- The validation errors and warning messages that prevented the creation of generated schedule data are displayed in the error log.
- Any interactive warning validations are not performed.
- When the program is submitted, you can resubmit, put on hold, cancel, or release the process as provided by the Scheduled Processes work area.
