Networks - Adding a Maintenance Window

A Maintenance window can be added at the System (Global) Level, or at the Network Level.

Note: You can now define a window for each activity that can be completed against a device, thus ensuring that only those activities can only be completed during that designated window.

To add a scheduled maintenance window,

1. From the menu bar, select Tools -> System Administration.

2. Next, select Networks -> Maintenance Window.

   

3. Click Add.

   The Maintenance window uses the same schedule window as the Schedule Manager.

    

   • Set the exact date and time for the run to occur.

   • Select a recurring schedule using the Run As Recurring series option. When the recurring schedule is selected, the new time zone drop-down options are available. Make your selection from the drop-down options. The time zone you select must be the client's time zone . The new time zone field will be propagated with the client time zone automatically when creating a new Maintenance Window or recurring scheduled job.

4. After making your schedule preferences, click OK. The maintenance window closes, and the information is now stored within the Maintenance Windows.

• Enter a unique name for the maintenance window.

• From the drop down list, select a Type. Remember, you can now schedule a window for each activity. 

• From the next drop down ( Window Duration), select the time allocated updates.  

• Next, at the Schedule portion of the window:
