Schedule Play Times in WPM

To expand on this...I would like to be able to schedule Transaction A to only run from 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM and then the transaction is unmanaged after hours.  Basically we need the ability to apply custom schedules to transactions.

Hello klinejw,

the functionality to unmanage transaction during the specified window is already present in WPM 2.0. You just need to use unmanage scheduling utility to define when the entity should be unmanaged.

What I was referring to is an automated reoccurring schedule - not a one-time unmanage scenario.

It seems that we've misunderstood each other. What I meant was to use Unmanage Scheduling Utility, which can be found in Start Menu in All Programs > SolarWinds Orion > Advanced Features > Unmanage Scheduling Utility.

You can use this tool to create an unmanage task which can be then scheduled for execution using the Windows Task Scheduler. You can find more information about how to use this tool in the following blog post , the post is little bit older so some information may not be relevant anymore. But it should give you a rough idea how to use this tool.

Let me know if you have any questions.

ok...this will work.  Any plan to move this capability into the Orion web site so these can be configured there instead of from the Orion server?

Hi Joe,

we are now collecting feedback from users about this and I consider this Idea submitted by Thomas (tweeksugl) as a request for web site integration, not the functionality itself, since the functionality is there, you just need to use the process described by Lukas.
