JUST RELEASED - CCU Holiday and Festival Resource Files - 2007 & 2008
We have been working hard to update resource files for the CCU and CCUweb. Both of these products can use resource input data .csv files to update calendars with standard date items like holidays or festivals. In the past CCU had approximately a dozen countries in the resource file set.
We have just released resource file sets for CCU that includes 51 countries for 2007 and 2008:
Argentia, Australia, Austria Belgium, Bermuda, Brazil, Bulgaria Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Croatia, Czech Republic Denmark Ecuador, Egypt, Estonia Finland, France Germany, Greece Hong Kong, Hungary India, Ireland, Israel, Italy Japan Mexico Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway Pakistan, Philippines, Poland, Portugal Russia Saudi Arabia, Scotland, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland Taiwan, Turkey United Arab Emirates, UK, USA Venezuela
These file sets are available for download in .ZIP format from http://www.omni-ts.com/download/gw-ccu.html.
Individual CSV files to add calendar items using CCU are contained in the "Add" folder as saved as Default_<Country>.CSV (e.g. Default_Canada.csv). The corresponding files to remove the calendar items are contained in the "Delete" folder and are saved as Default_<Country>Del.CSV.
Creating these resource files took considerable time. These files were built using calendar information from www.wikipedia.org as the primary source, plus cross checking with www.planetware.com and other individual web sites when dates were difficult to determine. As can be imagined, there is a chance for inaccurate dates considering we cross-referenced between Gregorian, Julien, Muslim, Chinese Lunar and Solar calendars.
If you find an incorrect date, please email the correction to support@omni-ts.com and we will update the file set.
