Limitations of the Monitor Maintenance Windows AIM

The Monitored Windows AIM functions only on a daily basis. There is no support for day of the week, date of the month, or other non-daily monitoring controls.

Any monitor specified in the AIM configuration file that does not actually exist in the monitor table is ignored until the time when it might exist. Any monitor upon which the AIM runs timing control is ignored when its index is removed from the monitor table.

The AIM attempts to run monitor activations and deactivations at the exact specified times. However, on systems with a significant load, the AIM may not experience a cycle at the exact moment. Therefore, the time off and the time on for any row should be greater than one minute apart.

Any single monitor may be the target of multiple rows in the AIM’s configuration file. That is, a monitor may be switched off and on several times during the day. It is up to you to avoid the logical problems that might result from overlap of off and on times in this case.
