| Description |
|
Currently recurring maintenance periods are specified as H hours of maintenance every Nth day. This leaves the period until the first maintenance larger than the following periods between maintenances. That could be avoided by changing the recurring maintenance period specification as H hours of maintenance every N days. |

For example with N = 5 and H = 48 (2 days) the maintenance schedule would look like: 1) ....xx...xx...xx...xx (current specification) |

i believe this should also include limiting main maintenance period to full day, as discussed with sasha |

We discussed the issue here in the office and decided that removing hours and minutes causes too much problems. In particular, it requires us to store "Active since" and "Active till" in the database as a date (not timestamp) due to timezone issues, which is the change we are not exactly willing to make right now. Also, having hours and minutes is actually useful. Suppose something broke and we wish to fix it until next working week starts. We will be doing maintenances every morning and every evening, and the last maintenance we wish to do is Monday morning. Currently, we can achieve this by setting "Active till" to, say, Monday noon. With hours and minutes gone, this will not be possible. So let's revert most of the frontend changes and, instead of removing hours and minutes in maintenance configuration, let them default to 00:00 when creating a new maintenance. |
