Definition

Start time of a period during which the specific background job MUST NOT run.

If the background job determines that it is running within the specified period, it terminates its run and automatically schedules a new run at a later time to continue the processing.

An interruption can only take place after elementary operations have been completed. Since there are some elementary database operations with a relatively long runtime, the times may be exceeded, meaning that the transaction in progress will be completed during the exclusion times. After that, however, the job is terminated immediately and rescheduled for the next time possible.

Please make sure that the period selected is specified correctly. The time "END1" must not be earlier than "START1". Similarly, the time "END2" must not be earlier than "START2".

The periods must not overlap. The first period must be earlier than the second period.

If a period is not specified, the initial value "00:00:00" in the time fields applies.

If both periods are not specified (i.e. "00:00:00"), there are no time restrictions for the background job - it can run at any time and can be started immediately.
