Clicking the Activate Profile link in the ECA menu opens the Activate Profile window to
view, change, setup, and delete the profile's activation schedule.
Profiles can be activated immediately or scheduled to start at a specific time. The end time may
be specified or set as indefinite. The profile can be activated once or repeatedly.
Single Execution — You can specify a start and end time as to when a profile will be
activated. At the end of the duration, the profile will be deactivated and the scheduled job will be deleted.
Recurrence — You can set profile activation to repeat, specifying the start and end
time they are to take effect. It can be set to repeat every number of days, every number of weeks, indefinitely,
or to terminate after a number of occurrences.
If profiles are scheduled to overlap, the profile with the latest start time becomes the active profile.
For periods when there is no profile scheduled, Profile 1 becomes the active profile. However, the current profile
will stay on until terminated if it is activated by a scheduled job that is deleted on demand. When Profile 1 is scheduled, it is
automatically activated indefinitely.
The following table describes the controls that enable you to setup, change, and delete profile activation scheduling.
