Scheduling Environment Events

You can schedule events, such as maintenance, for environments.

Environment scheduling includes the following:

• Maintenance Events: You can schedule a maintenance event during a period of time the environment is being initialized, upgraded, or otherwise maintained. This blocks the environment from being scheduled for a release package or other events.
• Other Events: You can schedule other types of events in addition to maintenance events; the other event has no limitations on it, in that it can be used for any type of event that you need to schedule, such as environment provisioning.
• Conflicting Events: You cannot schedule more than one maintenance event into overlapping timeframes; if you try, you will get a message in the form with the schedule conflict highlighted.
• Schedule Approvals: Once the events are scheduled, approvals for them are listed in the environment Pending Requests tab and can also be sent through emails. Approvers can approve, reject, reschedule, update, or delete the events.
• Rescheduling: When you reschedule, you can either set the schedule then, or mark it to set the schedule later. Start and finish maintenance using the corresponding options.
• Event Status: The status of the scheduled events are shown on the schedule calendar.
• Scheduled Release Packages: When you have scheduled a release package into an environment, those will show on the schedule calendar.

To schedule maintenance or an event for an environment:

1. Edit an environment.
2. Select the Calendar tab.
3. Click the Schedule Maintenance or Schedule Other button.
4. Set planned start and end dates and assign owners.

If you schedule the environment in a time period that overlaps, you will get an error. The error is highlighted on the schedule and notifications go to those subscribed.

The scheduled maintenance or other events can be required to go through an approval process.
