Scheduling bulk maintenance using an XML file

To schedule bulk maintenance using an XML file:

1. Open an XML editor.

   Note:

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

2. Create a file with the format:

   <?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 = "7"
         startDay = "11"
         startHour= "10"
         startMinute= "20"
         endYear = "2009"
         endMonth = "7"
         endDay = "11"
         endHour= "12"
         endMinute = "20"/>
   </ics_config>
   

3. Save and close the file.

   Note:

   Save the file in the local/conf/ics directory.

4. Upload the file to the server.
