How do I schedule maintenance? Or check to see if it's already performing that task

What maintenance? There's no maintenance that you need to schedule.
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible. An outstanding source of information is OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.)
If you are using a pre-Leopard version of OS X, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. (These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion and should not be installed.)
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. (There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion or later.)
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. SyncTwoFolders
6. Synk Pro
7. Synk Standard
8. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Always have a current backup before performing any system updates or upgrades.

Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity or 20 GBs, whichever is greater, as free space.

How to schedule Maintenance Mode in SCOM 2012?

Hi
How do I schedule Maintenance Mode in SCOM 2012? Do we have any tool for 2012 like we had with 2007?
Regards,
Akhilesh
Thanks, Akhilesh

Yep - to add a calendar takes some extra steps:
E.g.
1) Create a database which includes a table to store information such as:
- target for maintenance mode
- scheduled time for maintenance mode
- Comments
- Duration
- Reason
2) The Service Request fires off an Orchestrator runbook that stores this information in the database
3) Another Runbook that runs frequently that checks the database to see if it should kick off maintenance mode.
It isn't any easy solution for maintenance mode. It works better for more simplistic scheduling e.g. we do implement this kind of logic for environment refreshes and backups where we use the SM Portal and Orchestrator to log a date and then have another
runbook that runs at 2am every day to check if it should execute a backup \ refresh.

Get latest order for a scheduled maintenance plan

Hi experts,
I have a requirement where i have to get the order id for a scheduled Maintenance plan.My scenario is explained as below:
A maintenace plan is scheduled and as a result of it an order will be created automatically by system. Now i have to write a Report program which will be running daily and this report has to pick only those order which are NOT complete and these order will come from the above scheduled maintenance plan.
Therefore i have to pick incomplete order based on scheduled maintenance plan.Any idea how to achieve this requirement?
In case of any doubt please let me know.
Regards,
Abhishek

Thanks for reply. But my requirement is a bit differen.
I need a BAPI which can take Maintenance Plan as input and it can return the latest created incomplete order which is created due to scheduling of Maintenance Plan.

Abhishek

How do I determine Maintenance release level

Good morning,
Can anyone tell me how to determine the maintenance release level on an OES11.1 SP1 server ?
The instructions for NSM 4 say you need to be at OES11.1 SP1 with Jan 2013 Maintenance release applied.
When I run "cat /etc/novell-release" my reply is;
VERSION LEVEL = 11.1
PATCHLEVEL = 1
I tried looking in YaST2 "Software Management, though that was any help for me.
Is there another way to determine if the Jan 2013 Maintenance release was applied. Maybe a file date somewhere?
Thanks,
Allen

As far as I know there's no command or log file which will easily show
which maintenance release(s) has/have been applied.
Since you're wanting to know whether a particular one has been applied
what you can do in this case is check your installed versions of the
packages shipped in that maintenance release. See
http://download.novell.com/Download?...d=73ZrJ9ZUGjQ~ and
http://download.novell.com/Download?...d=DHDMLrK5Wgc~ for the January
2013 Scheduled Maintenance release for OES11 SP1 inc. eDirectory.
Use "rpm -q <package>" to check which version of the package is
installed - this will also report if a package is not installed. For
example, to check which version of the ifolder3-enterprise package you
have installed use "rpm -q ifolder3-enterprise".
Given the number of novell-* packages updated by the January 2013
Scheduled Maintenance update I would use "rpm -qa novell-*|sort" to list
all novell-* package versions (note the "-qa" is needed because of the
"novell-*" wildcard).
HTH.

August 2014 Scheduled Maintenance - Are Web and Worker Roles affected?

Are Web and Worker Roles affected by the Scheduled Maintenance that will be performed on Aug 2, 2014? The email that I received from Microsoft Azure states that it will affect VMs and Cloud Services and goes on to say how to keep your VMs available
despite the maintenance by setting up Availability Sets for VMs, but does not mention a strategy for Web and Worker roles.
What am I missing here?

Hello Farid_Azure,
Yes, the Web and Worker Roles are also affected by the scheduled maintenance as the web roles and worker roles are residing on the hardware that will go on maintenance.
The Cloud Service deployments will also reboot during the maintenance. You can increase the number of instances running for your web roles and worker roles to avoid being affected:

I hope that this answers your question.

How do I schedule an automator script to run at a certain time every day?

You can use lauchd to run the script.
Here's an example of an Automator App that I have scheduled to run at 7am daily:
You would save this as com.yourname.plist and put it the the Folder: ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ (then log out and back in, or reboot)
(To run a workflow, change open to automator)
(A nice GUI launchd editor is Lingon)

How do I schedule Sender FTP adapter?

Hi.
I have to run a number of weekly processes. I have to ensure that these processes are run night time only on thursdays.
These processes suppose to read from FTP. How could I schedule BPM this way ?
I tried to do it how it is described in the Siva Maranani's blog:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/weblogs.sdn?blog=/pub/wlg/1672. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
However it looks like FTP/FILE adapter can not be "read".
What would be the other option for me ?
Sincerely,
Evgeny.

Hi,
You can schdule any adapter (not only FTP)
1. Start the Runtime Workbench
2. Display All Components
3. Click on Adapter Engine
4. Click on Communication Channel Monitoring
5. Click on Availability Time Planning (upper right corner)
You can create different schedules for all communication channels defined.
Schedules can be of type daily, weekly, monthly or one-time. You can as well specify the start time, duration, etc. of each task

How do I schedule regular daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly data uploads?

Hello gurus!
How do I schedule regular daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly data uploads? How can I make it "automatic"?
Thank you very much!
Philips

Hi,
There are lots of documents available on how to design a process chain. It is basically your requirement what is needed.
for eg.. You have a daily masterd ata loaded into BW from R/3 and then the transaction data. So we create a chain where in we create anothe meta chain (for Master data) and drag the option of Load IP ( give variant as ur IP name you have created for that Particluar master data) , same for texts and hierarchy, for hierarchy use save option after the hierarchy process. and then use a attribute change run proces step to activate the master data. and then create another meta chain that loads transactiond data. Normally you have a IP that loads data into ODS here from source system, so Use IP process for that , next a process step to activate the ODS data and then use another IP to send the data to a cube. If you have aggregates built on that cube, use roll up process to roll up the data.
If you can gimme your mail ID , I can send some docu's on process chains

Srini
