Setting Maintenance Time

A service instance requires one hour every day to perform routine maintenance.

Administrators can select the most convenient time to start the hour-long maintenance window. In addition to routine maintenance, Oracle applies required patches to the service instance during this maintenance window.

Because the service instance is not available to users during the maintenance window, the Service Administrator should identify a one-hour period when no one uses the service. Any connected user will be logged off and will lose unsaved data.

To manage the maintenance window:

1. Access a service instance (log in to Profitability and Cost Management).
2. On the Home page, click Tools, and then click Daily Maintenance.
3. To configure the backup schedule for this service instance, complete these steps:
   1. In Start Time, select the time for maintenance to begin, using a 24-hour clock.
   2. In the next field, select the time zone to use for the service maintenance schedule.
4. Click Apply.
