A scheduled outage is planned to happen and recurs at regular
intervals for maintenance. You can define a scheduled service
outage using two scheduled task policies:
The first scheduled task policy defines the following:
Start date and time
Service to put into scheduled outage
Whether to delete or acknowledge messages during outage
The second scheduled task policy defines the following:
End date and time
Service to move out of scheduled outage
Both policies use the ovowserviceutil command line
tool.
