Assign a Maintenance Schedule to Services and CIs

After you define a maintenance schedule, you assign it to services and CIs. Assigned schedules are listed on the Information tab of the Component Detail pane.

When maintenance for an object occurs based on the schedule, the following changes take place:

• The Operational Mode is changed automatically to Maintenance. The modes are shown on the Information tab in the Component Detail pane. When maintenance is finished, the mode is changed back to Production.
• The icon is dimmed in the Topology view. Also, a small decal (similar to a picture of a wrench) appears at the upper left of the icon. No change happens to the icon in the Navigation pane. An 'M' appears in the Information column next to the CI.

Follow these steps:

1. Perform one of the following actions:
   • Right-click a service or CI on the Services tab of the Navigation pane and select Assign Maintenance Schedules.
   • Click a service or CI on the Services tab, and select Tools, Assign Maintenance Schedules.
2. Click a schedule in the Available Schedules pane on the left side of the dialog, and then click the right arrow button.

   Note: If you do not see a schedule that you want to use, click the Create button to define a maintenance schedule.

3. Click OK.
