What are schedule blackouts |
In Tivoli Change Management, schedule
blackouts are designated periods of time when certain categories of changes cannot
occur. For example, your organization may not want to schedule a repair to the network during the normal work day since it could require down time for the affected users. You could set up blackouts for the affected repair category for the days and hours that encompass the normal work schedule of your organization. You can print a list of the blackout periods or run reports to track changes that are scheduled during a blackout period, but blackouts do not directly affect the change schedule. Blackouts do not stop a user from performing change tasks or completing a change during a blackout period. You can add, modify, or delete schedule blackouts. Note: Schedule blackouts do not support Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) based time display. |
