Scheduling patterns that survive

Lesson 56 of 177 · 2 min

Pick a schedule that does not collapse when the month ends on a weekend, because it will, twice a year, and nobody will remember why. MONTH-END is the hard one. "Last day of the month" and "first working day" are different dates, and the report that must run after the close cannot be scheduled by date at all — the close finishes when it finishes. Prefer a schedule tied to the working calendar over one tied to a day number, and where the dependency is on a process rather than a date, run it after that process rather than at a time somebody hopes is late enough. DAILY DELTAS are the easy case with one trap: the boundary. A job that sends "yesterday's transactions" needs to agree with the receiving system about what yesterday means, in which time zone, and what happens on the day nobody ran it. Lesson 6
