Adding a Maintenance Process
Maintenance processes are used to schedule and run maintenance tasks. When a maintenance process runs, it executes all maintenance tasks that are assigned to it.
To add a maintenance process

On the Navigation Tree, click Content System, then click Maintenance and select Maintenance Processes.
-
Click on the Maintenance Processes page. The Maintenance Process page appears.
-
Name: Enter the name of a new process.
-
Number of concurrent tasks: Enter the number of concurrent tasks. Enter 1, if you want several tasks to be executed sequentially. Enter the actual number of tasks, if you want them to be executed simultaneously.

Available Tasks: Displays all available tasks, from which you can select tasks to assign to the current process. To do this, drag a task from the left pane to the right pane. The tasks are carried out in the order they appear on the list. You can change the order by dragging items up or down.
