NOTE: You can also view Date and Time Overrides for FireCall only switch pairs using this option.

Options

Date

Enter the date for which you wish to override the day and time settings in the Date column, using the same date format as the current running job. (The date formats are shown here in MM/DD/YY format, but Authority Broker will use the date format you have specified in your IBM i System Value QDATFMT).

Allow • Prevent

Allow and Prevent are mutually exclusive options. Only one can be selected for a specific day.

  • ALLOW means profile switching is allowed during a specific timeframe. An X is entered to signify profile switching is being allowed. Outside this time period, profile switching is prevented.
  • PREVENT means profile switching is prevented during the specified timeframe. An X is entered to signify profile switching is not being allowed. Outside this time period profile switching is allowed.
