Schedule Maintainance
BizTalk360 has an option where administrators can stop the alert notifications being sent for a specific maintenance time for every environment. Say, if the deployment is supposed to take 1 hour, they can create a schedule to stop alerts during this period.
- Click 'Settings' (gear icon) located at the top of the page
- Click 'Monitoring and Notification' in the Menu panel on the left side of the screen
- Click 'Schedule Maintenance' ->New Schedule.
Follow below steps before schedule configuration
- Select the environment in which the maintenance is planned
- Exclude the alarm from maintenance(Optional)- Select the alarm you u want to exclude from maintainance i.e you still receive alerts during maintenance as well for the excluded alarm.
Schedule Configuration
The schedule can be configured to stop receiving alerts immediately or later point of time-based on your maintenance plan.
Immediate Maintainance
You can set up the maintenance immediately from the current time by, enabling the 'Immediate' option and providing the maintenance end date and time in the schedule configuration.

Future Maintainance
Configure the schedule with Start and end date time to stop receiving alerts during the future maintenance period. A future maintenance schedule can be configured for onetime or recurrence execution.
- One-Time execution - The schedule will execute only once based on start/End Time configured.
Say for instance if you want to stop notification alert during the deployment which has been planned on 27th of March from 9 AM to 11 AM then you can create a schedule with onetime execution. you will not receive any alerts from 9 AM to 11 AM on 27th March.

2. Recurrence Execution -The schedule will be created once and that can be executed multiple times based on the recurrence pattern configured during the selected start and end time.

Scenario, The below image describes, the schedule will execute every 2 days once from 2 PM to 3 PM, from the start date March 31 to the end date April 10.
)
- Weekly: The Schedule will execute every week or 2 weeks/3weeks once during the configured start and end date-time period .you can also define whether you want to execute the schedule during all the days in a selected week, or only on the particular days.
Scenario- Say for instance If you want to stop receiving alerts during all the weekend for the whole 1 year. Then configure a schedule with start and end date for 1 year .
Recurrence Pattern: Weekly frequency -> Recur every week -> On Saturday and Sunday
)
- Monthly - The schedule will recur on a monthly basis. Say you can define in which month you are planning for maintenance and also you can configure Date of the month / Day of the week the maintenance is planned
