Confirming Actions

To Confirm Actions

If you selected the Always ask me policy, or if the job found actions to do on dependencies for which you did not set a policy, the job pauses, waiting for you to confirm or deny suggested fixes.

If your user account has Notify when: Job pauses selected, you will receive an email when you need to confirm actions to continue a job. Therefore, you can schedule the predefined profile to run during idle hours and confirm the actions when you receive notification. See To Create a Full-Permission User Account for details on notification, and To Create a Feature-Rich Complex Job for details on scheduling jobs.
