Configuring Business Calendars

Business calendars define business and non-business days (for example, statutory holidays, weekends, and company shutdown days) for your organization. When using business calendars, LiveCycle skips non-business days when performing certain date calculations. In Workbench, you can specify whether to use business calendars for user-associated events such as task reminders, deadlines, and escalations or for actions not associated with users, such as Timer Events and the Wait Service.

For example, a task reminder is configured to occur three business days after the task is assigned to a user. The task is assigned on Thursday. However, the following three days are not business days because the Friday is a national holiday and the next two days are weekend days. The reminder is therefore sent on Wednesday of the next week.

Note: When calculating dates and times using business calendars, LiveCycle uses the date and time of the server where it is running and does not adjust for the difference between time zones. For example, if a task reminder is scheduled to occur at 10:00 am on a server running in London, but the user receiving the reminder is located in New York City, the user would receive the reminder at 5:00 am local time.
