Maintenance schedule

This topic provides an overview of the database maintenance schedule settings in OTCAD.

Maintenance schedule

The maintenance schedule enables the database administrator to specify a specific day of the week and time to schedule periodic maintenance tasks such as upgrades, patches, and so on.

During a maintenance activity, a banner appears at the top of the page after you sign in to the database. You can still sign in and continue working during this time. Only database administrators can configure the maintenance schedule. The database will be in read-only mode during a maintenance activity. By default, maintenance activities are scheduled every Sunday at 6 AM UTC.

To modify the maintenance schedule:

Select Settings from More options.
Select Maintenance schedule.

The Maintenance schedule page appears, displaying the current database version and the date and time of the previous upgrade.
In the Day of event list, select the day of the week to schedule the database maintenance activity.

In the From and To lists, select the time interval to schedule the database maintenance activity.

Note

 Select a minimum time interval of 6 hours. If the database maintenance fails, OpenText uses restore points to revert to the earlier version of the database.

Select Save.

The database is scheduled for maintenance on the designated day of the week and time.

Changes to the maintenance schedule made at least one week in advance will only be considered. If you need to postpone the current maintenance schedule, contact the technical support team.
Note
```
 During a maintenance event, the database remains fully accessible and available. However, database instances might be offline temporarily sometimes to complete the update.
