Set default schedules across the entire environment - Research and Engineering Studio

End of development notice: AWS is discontinuing development of Research and Engineering Studio on AWS (RES). 2026.09 is the final release, supported through September 30, 2027. RES remains open source and keeps running in your account. For more information, see RES end of support.

Set default schedules across the entire environment

The default schedule can be updated in DynamoDB :

  1. Search for your environment's cluster settings table: <env-name>.cluster-settings.

  2. Select Explore Items.

  3. Under Filters enter the following two filters:

    Filter 1

    • Attribute name = key

    • Condition = Contains

    • Type = String

    • Value = vdc.dcv_session.schedule

    Filter 2

    • Attribute name = key

    • Condition = Contains

    • Type = String

    • Value = type

    Filters display with option to add filters

    This will display seven entries which represent the default schedule types for each day of the form vdc.dcv_session.schedule.<day>.type. The valid values are:

    • NO_SCHEDULE

    • STOP_ALL_DAY

    • START_ALL_DAY

    • WORKING_HOURS

    • CUSTOM_SCHEDULE

  4. If CUSTOM_SCHEDULE is set, you must provide the customized start and stop times. To do this, use the following filter in the cluster-settings table:

    • Attribute name = key

    • Condition = Contains

    • Type = String

    • Value = vdc.dcv_session.schedule

  5. Search for the item formatted as vdc.dcv_session.schedule.<day>.start_up_time and vdc.dcv_session.schedule.<day>.shut_down_time for the respective days you want to set your custom schedule. Inside the item, delete the Null entry and replace it with a String entry as follows:

    • Attribute name = value

    • Value = <The time>

    • Type = String

    The time value must be formatted as XX:XX using a 24 hour clock. For example, 9am would be 09:00 while 5pm would be 17:00. The entered time always corresponds to the local time of the AWS region the RES environment is deployed in.
