SUMMARY

Version 3.4 of the PROFS gateway can exchange Free/Busy scheduling information with Schedule+. The host component is the Calendar Service Machine (MS-CSM); this accesses the calendars of the host PROFS users for complete Free/Busy times distribution (all users' times), as well as incremental Free/Busy time distributions (only calendars that have changed over the interval period). To know when to process incremental Free/Busy times distributions, the MS-CSM machine looks at the time settings in the WAKEUP DATA A file.

MORE INFORMATION

Here is an example of the WAKEUP DATA A file: 
************************************************************************
* WAKEUP DATA   VERSION 1.00
*
* The format of this file is:
*
* DayOfWeek hh:mm:ss TimeStamp Function
*
* DayOfWeek - the day or days the function is to be executed.
*             Valid values: ALL, M-F, S-S, MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI,
*                           SAT, SUN
* hh:mm:ss  - the time the function is to be executed (24hr clock)
* TimeStamp - used internally.
*             Enter 'NEW' for new tasks.
* Function  - PWABFDN to download PROFS/OV scheduling information.
*             PWAMRCHK to check if Schedule+ meeting requests were
*             added.
*
* For example:
*
* ALL   13:00:00   NEW  PWABFDN
*
* Will download scheduling information, everyday at 1:00pm

As the times are executed, the "pending" messages in column three are overwritten with the current date, and the MS-CSM machine ignores this time when next it views the file.
