Set Automatic Cancellation of Unapproved Reservations

If reservations are not explicitly approved in time, the Reservation Manager can cancel them automatically. If automatic cancellation is enabled, you can also specify how long after the reservation start time to wait before automatically canceling the reservation. By default, this option is disabled.

To set automatic cancellation of unapproved reservations

1. Log in to the Reservation Manager using the CA Server Automation administrator user credentials.

   The home page opens.

2. Click Administer Your Reservation Manager.

   The Administration page opens.

3. Click Manage your configuration settings.

   The Configure Settings page opens.

4. Click the following links in the Approvals area. Each one opens a dialog in which you can change the value and click OK.

   Automatically Cancel Unapproved Reservations

   Specifies whether reservations are canceled automatically if not approved by the time specified in the next setting, Automatically Cancel Unapproved Reservations Time Delay.

   Default: false (no automatic cancellation)

   Automatically Cancel Unapproved Reservations Time Delay

   Specifies the number of hours to wait after the scheduled reservation start time before automatically canceling unapproved reservations.

   The configuration change takes effect when the next reservation is made.
