Class Schedule

java.lang.Object

mondrian.util.Schedule

public class Schedule
extends Object

A Schedule generates a series of time events.

Create a schedule using one of the factory methods:

• createOnce(java.util.Date, java.util.TimeZone),
• createDaily(java.util.Date, java.util.Date, java.util.TimeZone, java.sql.Time, int),
• createWeekly(java.util.Date, java.util.Date, java.util.TimeZone, java.sql.Time, int, int),
• createMonthlyByDay(java.util.Date, java.util.Date, java.util.TimeZone, java.sql.Time, int, int),
• createMonthlyByWeek(java.util.Date, java.util.Date, java.util.TimeZone, java.sql.Time, int, int, int).

Then use the nextOccurrence(java.util.Date, boolean) method to find the next occurrence after a particular point in time.

The begin and end parameters represent the points in time between which the schedule is active. Both are optional. However, if a schedule type supports a period parameter, and you supply a value greater than 1, begin is used to determine the start of the cycle. If begin is not specified, the cycle starts at the epoch (January 1st, 1970).

The Date parameters in this API -- begin and end, the time parameter to createOnce(java.util.Date, java.util.TimeZone), and the earliestDate parameter and value returned from nextOccurrence(java.util.Date, boolean) -- always represent a point in time (GMT), not a local time. If a schedule is to start at 12 noon Tokyo time, April 1st, 2002, it is the application's reponsibility to convert this into a UTC Date value.

                                  TimeZone tz)

Creates a calendar which fires only once.

createDaily

public static Schedule createDaily(Date begin,
                                   Date end,

                                   int period)

Creates a calendar which fires every day.

Parameters:

begin - open lower bound, may be null, must be UTC

end - closed upper bound, may be null, must be UTC

tz - timezone

timeOfDay - time at which to fire

period - causes the schedule to fire every period days. If period is greater than 1, the cycle starts at the begin point of the schedule, or at the epoch (1 January, 1970) if begin is not specified.

createWeekly

public static Schedule createWeekly(Date begin,
                                    Date end,
                                    TimeZone tz,
                                    Time timeOfDay,
                                    int period,
                                    int daysOfWeekBitmap)

Creates a calendar which fires on particular days each week.

Parameters:

tz - timezone

daysOfWeekBitmap - a bitmap of day values, for example (1 << Calendar.TUESDAY) | (1 << Calendar.THURSDAY) to fire on Tuesdays and Thursdays

timeOfDay - time at which to fire

begin - open lower bound, may be null

end - closed upper bound, may be null

period - causes the schedule to be active every period weeks. If period is greater than 1, the cycle starts at the begin point of the schedule, or at the epoch (1 January, 1970) if begin is not specified.

createMonthlyByDay

public static Schedule createMonthlyByDay(Date begin,
                                          Date end,
