Downtime schedule examples

Keep the following in mind when setting the downtime schedule:

• Retroactive downtime is not supported. You cannot:

  • Create a downtime that is scheduled in the past.

  • Delete a downtime that has started or that occurred in the past.

  • Modify a downtime that has started or that occurred in the past.

• The date format of startDate/endDate is: yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ

• For weekly and monthly downtimes, the startDate and endDate should be defined at midnight. For example:

  • <startDate>2010-07-24T00:00:00</startDate>

  • <endDate>2010-09-04T00:00:00</endDate>
