Usage Notes

The pub.date:getWorkingDays service requires you to configure holidays and weekend days in the holidays.cnf configuration file in Integration Server_directory \instances\instance_name\packages\WmPublic\config directory. The pub.date:getWorkingDays service uses this configuration file to find the number of working days between two dates.

Note:

If you make any changes to the holidays.cnf, you must reload the WmPublic package or restart Integration Server for the changes to take effect.
