broken

Description

This schedule allows a normal schedule to be broken by the results of another schedule. This might be a list of bank holidays, or time of day, or any other schedule.

This schedule works by moving the schedule forward if the start time of the next interval falls within the next interval defined by the break. In the example below for a time of 12:00 on 24-dec-04 the logic is as follows:

The schedule is next due at 10:00 on the 25-dec-04.
This schedule is within the break, move the schedule on.
The schedule is next due at 10:00 on the 26-dec-04.
This schedule is within the break, move the schedule on.
The schedule is next due at 10:00 on the 27-dec-04.
This schedule is outside the break, use this result.

Example

 <broken>
   <schedule>
     <time on="10:00" />
   </schedule>
   <breaks>
     <date from="25-dec-04" to="26-dec-04" />
   </breaks>
 </broken>
