You can create a Schedule model having one or more objects of the Calendar event type. You can assign this model to start events as a process instantiation plan.
Procedure
Step 1: Create a Schedule model having one or more objects of the Calendar event type
The schedule model has been created with the Calendar event objects.
Step 2: Configure calendar events as process instantiation objects
Define the Frequency, that is, whether the calendar event takes place daily, weekly, monthly, or Annually.
If required, define the interval, that is, how many recurrences defined by the frequency are to be skipped. For example, in the case of the Daily frequency, value 1 indicates that the recurrence takes place every day. 2 means that the recurrence only takes place every other day, and so on.
If you have not enabled Recurring event, you will not be able to edit Frequency or Interval.
The details of the recurrence have been saved.
Step 3: Assign a process instantiation plan to a start event
To ensure that calendar events are not ignored in the simulation run, always configure calendar events either as a shift calendar or as a process instantiation plan. Calendar events can be used for defining periods (in shift calendars) and for process instantiation (in process instantiation plans). Process instantiation plans are kept distinct from shift calendars by setting an attribute (Process instantiations). Only calendar events with this attribute set will be evaluated in process instantiation plans, and vice versa. Therefore, you should use the corresponding dialogs (Shift calendar: Date and time; Process instantiations: Process instantiations) to ensure that the calendar events are correctly configured.
The assignment is created. In the future, the schedule will be used as the process instantiation plan for the simulation.
