Appendix A. Examples of Scheduling Format Representation
This section provides some examples to illustrate the use of the
period and recurrence formats defined in Section 6. The following
modules are used for illustration purposes and make examples
verifiable:

For each example, only the message body is provided with JSON, which
is used for encoding per the guidance in [RFC7951].
A.1. The "generic-schedule-params" Grouping
Figure 10 illustrates the example of a requested schedule that needs
to start no earlier than 08:00 AM, January 1, 2025 and end no later
than 8:00 PM, January 31, 2025 (Beijing time). Schedule requests
that fail to meet the requirements are ignored by the system, as
indicated by "discard-action".

"time-zone-identifier": "China/Beijing",
"min-allowed-start": "2025-01-01T08:00:00",

"discard-action": "ietf-schedule:silently-discard"
}
}
Figure 10: Generic Parameters with 'max-allowed-end' for Schedule
Validation
To illustrate the difference between "max-allowed-end" and "validity"
parameters, Figure 11 shows the example of a requested schedule that
needs to start no earlier than 08:00 AM, January 1, 2025 (Beijing
time). Schedule requests that fail to meet the requirements are
ignored by the system, as indicated by "discard-action". The
requested schedule may end after 8:00 PM, January 31, 2025, but any
occurrences that are generated after that time would not be
considered as valid.
