Content Blackout Schedule

You should define a Management Zone setting only if you are sure that you want to use this setting
for all devices. In normal environments, you should not use a common blackout schedule for all
devices.
A content blackout schedule is needed only for special devices, such as device in the finance
department or production PCs that are used for controlling production processes.
The following graphic shows a corporate (global) blackout schedule of the last Friday of every
month, from 12:00 a.m. until 7:00 a.m. In this case, no content is sent to managed devices during
this time.

disable this feature in your Management Zone.

System Variables

System variables are used to define paths, names, and other items in your system. In addition to the
predefined variables, Novell recommends using variables in bundles. This makes it much simpler to
create, manage, and deliver applications moving forward. You need to standardize on this early and
stay with your standard.
