You are missing something, I think. The 'schedule' metaparameter can
be used with any resource, including those of defined types.
Could it be as simple as the fact that you name your schedule
'morning', but assign a different, possibly missing, schedule 'einmal'
to the resource?
Anyway, you didn't specify what "does not work" means. What is the
nature of the [mis]behavior you see? Is it possible that you have the
wrong expectations? Schedules in Puppet limit when or how often
resources are managed, but that's modulated by when and how often the
node checks in to request a catalog.
