Maintenance Window Configuration

[Brian Lancaster]

I have a maintenance window for Monthly maintenance. The way we originally defined it was to start on the second Weekend of every month starting Friday night. It turns out this was incorrect for some months. Monthly maintenance is supposed to start on the first Friday after the second Tuesday of the month. So in the case of April it is actually the 3 weekend of the month. Is there a way to translate this in a change schedule that works every month?

Hi Brian,

Yes, you can create a change schedule that meets your requirement. Here's how you can do it:

1. Go to the Change Schedule [change_schedule] table and create a new schedule.

2. Set the Time Zone field to the time zone in which you want to schedule the maintenance.

3. Set the Frequency field to Monthly.

4. Set the Start field to the first Friday after the second Tuesday of the month. Here's how you can do it:

   a. Set the Start Day field to the 2nd Tuesday of the month.

   b. Set the Start Time field to 12:00 AM.

   c. Set the End Time field to 11:59 PM.

   d. Set the Recurrence field to Every 1 Month.

   e. Set the Days of the Week field to Friday.

5. Set the Duration field to the duration of your maintenance window.

6. Save the schedule.

This change schedule will start on the first Friday after the second Tuesday of every month and will repeat every month. This will ensure that your monthly maintenance always starts on the correct weekend.

Thanks,

Rahul Kumar

I have no table named change_schedule. Also wouldn't this include Tuesday as part the maintenance window.
