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
 * For example:
