Oracle EPM Cloud and Scheduling Maintenance

 By default, Financial Consolidation and Close automatically perform daily maintenance starting at midnight local time. 

During the nightly maintenance window, the system performs backups, applies any patches, recycles the application, and so on. If you prefer, you can schedule daily maintenance to occur at another time.

During daily maintenance, the service automatically creates a backup snapshot of data and artifacts. When daily maintenance executes, it replaces the prior backup snapshot with a new backup snapshot. 

You should schedule the execution of the EPM Automate Utility on a daily basis to download the backup snapshot to a local computer.

To schedule maintenance:

1. On the Home page, click Tools.
2. Click Daily Maintenance.
3. Select the local time zone and the time of day for maintenance.
4. Click Save.
