Submitting a service

Prerequisites

• If the service is in Maintenance status, you must have the Admin, Develop, or Modify role.
Procedure
1. On the Services tab, select the service that you want to submit, and in the service preview pane, click
Create Request.
2. In the Submit Service Request window, in the Settings pane, configure the volume, host, and task
settings required by the service.
NOTE: In Task Settings, a schedule is interpreted as a server time. Be aware if the server is in a
different time zone from the client.
3. Click Submit to submit the service immediately, or Submit & View Task to submit the service and go
to the Tasks tab.
4. Verify that the tasks that are associated with the submitted service are listed on the Tasks tab.

another one finishes.
Effect on scheduling when switching between standard and daylight savings time (U.S and Canada only)
When a server is in a region of the world that has adopted daylight savings time, you must understand
how the scheduling time is affected when the system switches between standard and daylight savings
time. Daylight savings time begins at 2:00 AM (Central Time) on the 2nd Sunday of March and ends at
2:00 AM on the 1st Sunday of November.
To accommodate switching between standard time to daylight savings time, the time between 2:00 AM to
2:59 AM is omitted and any services that are scheduled during standard time will instead start at 2:00 to
2:59 AM daylight savings time.
Conversely, when switching back from daylight savings to standard time, the time between 1:00 AM and
1:59 is increased so any services scheduled to run during daylight savings time are ignored (not
processed twice) according to the original schedule, but are run when the time is switched back from
daylight savings to standard time.
Services that are scheduled outside of these switching time are not affected and are run according to the
time plan that is currently in effect for the server.
