Administration of holiday tables is supported only on Communication Manager and cannot be changed using adjunct vectoring tools.
Holiday vectoring is only available when you enable Vectoring (Basic) or Attendant Vectoring.
There is no procedure to validate consistency among the 15 holidays in any table. If the same holiday is entered twice, the system stops checking after the first found entry.
Date range overlapping is common for holidays that are in ranges of dates. When a call is in vector processing, holidays are checked from top to bottom on the table and the check stops if a match is found. Even though there can be multiple matching entries, the check stops at the first match.
There is a validation that the day of the month that is entered is valid with the given month. Specifically, if the month is April, June, September, or November, then the date must be a number between 1 and 30. If the month is January, March, May, July, August, October, or December, then the date can be a number between 1 and 31. If the month is February, a the date can be any number between 1 and 29.
Note:
The year is not checked in holiday vector processing. This allows the same holidays to be used year-to-year when the holiday is on a fixed date. For holidays where the date changes from year-to-year, you must re-administer the holiday tables.
When disabling the Holiday Vectoring feature, that is, changing the value of the Vectoring (Holidays) field from y to n on the System-Parameters Customer-Options screen, the vectors are checked for any goto if holiday steps. If any such steps are found, an error message is displayed and the change is not allowed. You must remove the vector steps first before you disable the Holiday Vectoring.
You can use the Use VDN Time Zone For Holiday Vectoring field on the Vector Directory Number (VDN) screen that is active for the call so that vector processing uses the VDN time zone specified when applying holiday vectoring if the field is set to y, otherwise vector processing uses the system time.
