Some other command actions can also interfere with daily maintenance when
certain qualifiers are used in the command, or under certain circumstances. For
example, certain “test” commands, when used with the modifier “continuously”,
could potentially interfere with daily maintenance. However, such command
actions are not used typically by customer administrators doing routine
administration, and are less likely to disrupt daily maintenance routines than are

Incomplete Command Time-out
A time-out feature has been added to the MAINTENANCE-RELATED SYSTEM
PARAMETERS form (accessed by the command
change system parameters
maintenance
). This feature improves the operation of daily maintenance by
allowing maintenance routines to run that might otherwise not run. It also helps to
prevent the loss of translations that were not saved by the
save translation
command, and were also not saved because daily maintenance was prevented
from running prior to the system reset. Highlights of the feature include:
■ Options for blank, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 hours (the default is 2 hours)
■ The blank option indicates that the feature is not active
■ Only commands that block the running of daily maintenance (add,
change, duplicate, remove, and set) are affected
■ All logins will time-out if any of these commands are active for the
prescribed time (except for the “blank” option)
■ The feature applies to all logins, regardless of type (init, dadmin, craft,
inads) or permissions granted to the specific login ID of an administration
or maintenance user
■ The corresponding “time-out” entry is appended to the list history log
The new
Command Time-out
field can be viewed by customer administrators.
A craft, init, dadmin, or inads login is required to change the option for the field.
