You can create service time patterns (a 7/24 or 5/10 schema, for example) and reuse them to define agreed service times.
Recommendation
Instead of defining agreed service times for each system individually, create AST patterns according to a naming convention reflecting the planned system availability, for example “24x7_00_to_24_CET” or “5x12_06_18_CET”.
In the Technical Administration work center, choose the Service Availability Management
scenario.
The technical systems in scope of SAM are displayed.
Select one or more systems, and choose the Maintain Service Time
pushbutton.
The agreed service times assigned to the technical component are displayed.
Select one or more agreed service times and choose
.Choose Create
.
Enter data as required.
In the ID
field, enter a technical name according to the naming conventions for your name-space.
For more information, see Scheduling Agreed Service Times.
Save your entries.
The service time pattern is created. When you define agreed service times for a managed object, you can reuse it. To do so, on the Availability Pattern
tab page, choose the Copy Pattern
pushbutton.
