3 = General information about Maintenance Windows =
4
5 Maintenance windows are fixed periods during which systems, applications, or services are scheduled for maintenance, updates, or repairs. If no maintenance windows are defined, unexpected disruptions or failures may occur if maintenance is performed during working time.
6
7 With the help of maintenance windows, ACMP now offers you the option of centrally creating time profiles for maintenance work, thereby preventing work on clients outside of the maintenance windows. Defining start and end times, general calendar days, and one-time or recurring time windows enables the predictable and transparent management of maintenance work.
8
9 The maintenance profiles you create can then be linked to the clients in the containers. You can execute the jobs as usual via your existing containers. However, if you have jobs that are not within the
10
11 maintenance time windows, these jobs will not be executed (anymore).
12
13 = Create a maintenance window profile =
14
15 To assign maintenance periods to selected clients, first create a maintenance window profile. To do this, navigate to Client Management > Maintenance Window in the ACMP Console. This area is where all maintenance window-related tasks are performed. Here you can view existing profiles, create new profiles, edit existing profiles, and delete obsolete ones.
16
17 To create a new profile, click //Add// in the ribbon bar.

22 Creating an initial maintenance window profile
23 {{/figure}}
24
25 A wizard opens where you can give the profile a name, specify a destination folder for the profile, and optionally add a continuing description.
26 If multi tenancy is enabled in ACMP, you can also specify whether the profile is global or assigned to a single ACMP client.
27
28 {{aagon.infobox}}
29 A maintenance window profile can apply globally and thus be used by all clients, or it can be assigned to a maximum of one tenant and then only be used by clients of that tenant.
30 {{/aagon.infobox}}
31
32 Confirm with //Continuing//.
33
34 On the next page, specify the period during which maintenance is to take place.

101 To create an appointment for a maintenance time slot, either click using a double-click on a day in the calendar or select a day and then click on . The following window will open:
102
103 {{figure}}
104
105
106 [[image:1760702956735-494.png]]
107
108 Add a scheduled time slot
109 {{/figure}}
110
111 Here you can give the appointment a name and specify the start and end times. If you do not want to specify a specific time but want to schedule the entire day for maintenance, you can click the //All Day// checkbox.
112
113 If you decide to turn the appointment into a series, you can also click //Make Recurring// and configure continuing settings there.
114
115 Then click //OK// if you want to apply the configuration you have configured.
116
117 If you want to create a series of appointments for maintenance, click [[image:1760703028559-388.png]] ​​to set recurring appointments. The following window will open:
118
119 {{figure}}

122 [[image:1760703113873-796.png]]
123
124 Add a recurring time slot
125 {{/figure}}
126
127 Here you can set the start and end times individually under //Event time//. The duration always starts from the start time and customizes the end time according to the selected duration.
128
129 In the “Recurrence pattern” section, you can configure the frequency of the recurrences.
130
131 Finally, under “Range of recurrence,” you can set the period over which the series should extend.
132
133 Then click “OK” if you want to apply the configured configuration.
134
135 You will then see the newly set time slots in the calendar view.

143 {{/figure}}
144
145 Then click //Done// here as well if you want to leave the time slots as they are and do not want to set any continuing group and user accesses.
146
147 If you click //Continuing//, you can configure access for groups and individual users on the next page. Then click //Done//.
148
149 The newly created profile and its time frames will then appear in the workspace. The //General// tab contains settings for the name, the set maintenance periods, and the client settings. In the //Time Frames// tab, the set periods are displayed again in the calendar view.

157 = Linking profiles to containers =
158
159 To assign a maintenance window profile to a client, this should be done via a container. All clients that are assigned to the container and linked to a maintenance profile will then receive this profile. The current maintenance window profile is loaded each time the ACMP agent is started and when the job scanner is executed.
160
161 {{aagon.infobox}}
162 Please note that a client's maintenance window depends on its container affiliation. It is not possible to perform a direct mapping of a maintenance window profile to a client!
163 {{/aagon.infobox}}
164
165 {{aagon.versionierungsbox}}
166 Please note that the assignment of a maintenance window profile to containers with [[Unix Agents>>doc:ACMP.69.Arbeiten mit der ACMP Console.Clients erfassen.Unix Agent installieren.WebHome]] (version 1.12) is only possible in full from AESB version 1.11.2 onwards
167 {{/aagon.versionierungsbox}}
168
169 Navigate to //Client Management > Containers//. Either select an existing container or create a new one. In the workspace, open the //Maintenance Window// tab. There you can assign a profile either by clicking //Click to assign a maintenance profile// or by using the //Assign// ribbon bar. After the assignment of a maintenance profile, the calendar view appears with the set time windows.

175 {{/figure}}
176
177 You can also use the ribbon bar to remove the profile from the container or edit it if necessary. 
178
179 {{aagon.infobox}}
180 If you have created a subcontainer, the corresponding profile of the main container is automatically inherited. However, if you want to interrupt this inheritance, you can do so via the ribbon bar in the Inheritance > Cancel section and assign a different maintenance window profile to the container if necessary.
181 {{/aagon.infobox}}
182
183 In the container overview, you can finally identify the type of container by the icon [[image:1760703656038-167.png]], which containers have been assigned a maintenance window profile and which have not.

192 Saving a maintenance window profile after its assignment to a container-associated client may take some time.
193 {{/aagon.infobox}}
194
195 = Maintenance windows and jobs =
196
197 To ensure that maintenance tasks can be performed within a specified maintenance window, jobs or, if necessary, a job collection must be added to a container. These can then only be processed during the maintenance window.
198 You can read about the general definition and execution of jobs in the chapter [[Jobs>>doc:ACMP.69.ACMP-Solutions.Jobs.WebHome]].
199
200 {{aagon.infobox}}
201 A job that takes a maintenance period into account can no longer be started if it is outside the maintenance period. However, a job that takes a maintenance period into account will execute a job that has already been started, even if the end of the maintenance window has been exceeded. However, any continuing pending jobs will no longer be started.
202 {{/aagon.infobox}}
203
204 In addition to container jobs, jobs can also be created that are pushed for one-time and short-term execution. If the job is pushed to a client that has a maintenance profile assigned to it and is not in a valid maintenance window, the administrator can decide when the job should execute:
205
206 1. The job should execute outside the maintenance window.
207
208 {{aagon.infobox}}
209 This option is only available if you have been given permission to ignore maintenance windows.
210 {{/aagon.infobox}}
211
212 2. The job should execute in the next maintenance window.
213 3. The push process for the job should be canceled.
214 Regardless of the type of job, all jobs that have been scheduled outside of a maintenance window can be viewed in the [[Jobmonitor>>doc:ACMP.69.Arbeiten mit der ACMP Console.Aufbau der Console.Ribbonleiste.Monitore.WebHome]].
