Specifying an available time to run the archival process

To maintain high system performance during peak hours, you can configure a blackout period to specify when the archive or delete tasks run.

A blackout period is a temporary period in which the movement of data is denied. By default, a blackout period is not defined when the software is installed.

Procedure

Go to the c10_location/webapps/p2pd/WEB-INF/cm/tasks/manager directory.
Using an XML text editor, open the tasksManager.xml file.
For example, to specify a weekly blackout period from 8.00 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, add the following <blackoutPeriods> element as a child element of the backgroundTasksManager element.
- start time = <hour>08</hour>
- stop time = <hour>17</hour>
- days =
```
				<day>Tuesday</day>
				<day>Wednesday</day>
				<day>Thursday</day>
				<day>Friday</day>
```
If required, decrease the number of threads available to the archiving and deletion processes. The maximum number of threads is 7.
Save and close the file.
Restart background activities on the Content Manager service.
