To unschedule bulk maintenance using an XML file:

  1. Open the original XML file containing the device entries you want to remove from maintenance in an XML editor.

  2. Type the following line in the first device entry:

    removeSchedMaint = “TRUE”
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE ics_config SYSTEM "ics-config.dtd">
<ics_config version="2">
   <maintconfig className = "Host" instanceName = "hostb"
      startYear = "2009"
      startMonth = "8"
      startDay = "11"
      startHour= "10"
      startMinute= "20"
      endYear = "2009"
      endMonth = "8"
      endDay = "11"
      endHour= "12"
      endMinute = "20"
      removeSchedMaint = “TRUE”/>
     <maintconfig className = "Router" instanceName = "10.9.131.17"
      startYear = "2009"
      startMonth = "8"
      startDay = "16"
      startHour= "13"
      startMinute= "00"
      endYear = "2009"
      endMonth = "8"
      endDay = "16"
      endHour= "14"
      endMinute = "20"/>
</ics_config>

  3. Save and close the file.

    Note:

    Save the file in the local/conf/ics directory. An example XML file, bulk-maint-sample.xml, is located in the conf/ics directory.

  4. Reload the XML file into the server.

    “Loading the bulk maintenance XML fileâ€� on page 130 provides detailed information for loading the XML file into the server.
