Technical Background

The Maintenance Schedule for a server or device is defined within CMDB-X. Double click on Maintenance Schedule CMDB-X property. A Maintenance Schedule definition screen will be popped up:

Uncheck Use Server Or Device Time Zone option if the maintenance schedule want to use local time zone.

Click Remove button to remove the existing Maintenance Schedule.

Click OK to Save the Maintenance Schedule.

When running Production Relators, the Relator running status for the maintenance enabled device should be changed to Skipped. Also, the execution result in the Trace log of Maintenance enabled device should show “Server Or Device is in maintenance schedule. No monitoring is scheduled”
