Procedure documentationCreating a Service Time Pattern

 

You can create service time patterns (a 7/24 or 5/10 schema, for example) and reuse them to define agreed service times.

Recommendation 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”.

End of the recommendation.
