In HCA you can create many different schedules. Suppose you have two schedules "Holiday" and "Normal". You would like "Normal" to be the schedule you use from January 3rd to November 24th. And schedule "Holiday" you want to use during January 4th to November 23rd.

A simple way to do this is to create the schedules, then create two programs - call them SetHoliday and SetNormal.

Program SetNormal contains the ChangeSchedule element that changes to schedule "Normal".

Program SetHoliday contains the ChangeSchedule element that changes to schedule "Holiday".

Add a schedule entry to schedule "Normal" that on November 23rd runs program "SetHoliday".

Add a schedule entry to schedule "Holiday" that on January 3rd runs program "SetNormal".

You can use this same technique if you have many different schedules to operate at different times of the year - for example a Spring, Summary, Fall, and Winter schedules.
