Create a maintenance window

Maintenance windows are designated periods when patching and updates can occur. Maintenance windows can help ensure that updates are executed during low-impact periods to minimize disruptions.

When creating a patch job, there is an option to override maintenance windows, allowing patches to be applied immediately if necessary.

To add a maintenance window:

  1. In the PE console navigation bar, select Maintenance Windows.
  2. Click Add maintenance window.
  3. In the Information section, add a name for your maintenance window.
  4. From the drop-down menu in the Availability section, select how often you would like the maintenance window to run.

    Note: You can select Custom from the drop-down menu to specify a more complex scheduling using a cron string to define your maintenance window. For more information see cron strings.

  5. In the Schedule section, designate a valid period of time for your maintenance window.
  6. Click Add maintenance window.
