INTERVALTIME

<INTERVALTIME
DAY="n"
HOUR="n"
MIN="n"
/>

Indicates the interval of time over which the schedule should repeat. The days, hours, and minutes are totaled to determine the length of the repeating range. Additional information on scheduled updates is available in the Creating Active Channels documentation.

DAY="n"
Number of days over which the schedule will repeat.
HOUR="n"
Number of hours over which the schedule will repeat.
MIN="n"
Number of minutes over which the schedule will repeat.

Number of allowed occurrences: None or one
Parent elements Child elements
SCHEDULE None

The time quantity specified by this element will be rounded up to a fraction of a day (fourth, third, half, and so on) or rounded to the nearest multiple of a day. For example, 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-hour increments will be used by Internet Explorer without rounding, but 5 hours will be rounded to 6 hours (a fourth of a day). An INTERVALTIME with a value greater than a half day but less than a day will be rounded up to a day. This element is a required child element of SCHEDULE, and it must contain a nonzero value to be considered valid.

Example

The following example shows a schedule that will update the channel every day during the month of December (1997) sometime between 10 A.M. and 2 P.M.

<SCHEDULE STARTDATE="1997-12-01" STOPDATE="1997-12-31">
<INTERVALTIME DAY="1" /> 
<EARLIESTTIME HOUR="10" /> 
<LATESTTIME HOUR="14" /> 
</SCHEDULE>
