Maintenances object

A Maintenances object represents the collection of maintenance defined to PureApplication® Software that is applicable to a classic virtual system instance. Objects of this type are used to create, delete, iterate over, list and search for Maintenances resources on IBM® PureApplication Software.

You can work with the Maintenances object on the command-line interface and help is available. To get help for the Maintenances object, pass it as an argument to the help() function, as shown in the following example:

>>> help(deployer.maintenance)

Maintenance object

A Maintenance object represents a particular maintenance defined to PureApplication Software. Use the Maintenance object to query and manipulate the maintenance definition on PureApplication Software. Attributes of the Maintenance resource are represented as Jython attributes on the Maintenance object. Relationships between the Maintenance resource and other resources in PureApplication Software are also represented as Jython attributes on the Maintenance object. Manipulate these Jython attributes using standard Jython mechanisms to change the corresponding data on IBM PureApplication Software.

You can work with the Maintenance object on the command-line interface and help is available. To get help for the Maintenance object, pass it as an argument to the help() function, as shown in the following example:

>>> help(deployer.maintenance)
