Management of actions based on priority levels and calendar entries
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- maintaining, by a management application implemented in a computational device, priorities corresponding to a plurality of resources coupled to the computational device;
storing, to a calendar implemented in the computational device, indications for actions to be performed corresponding to occurrences of events, wherein the calendar is configurable by a user;
storing, to the calendar, a selected indication for an action to be performed;
in response to an occurrence of an event associated with a selected resource, determining, by the computational device, a priority of the selected resource; and
performing the action, based on at least the determined priority of the selected resource and the selected indication for the action stored in the calendar, wherein different actions are performed based on factors that affect policies to generate the different actions that are performed, wherein the factors include a time factor corresponding to a time of day, and a related resources factor in which one resource'"'"'s priority is increased based on another resource'"'"'s priority, and wherein different policies are maintained for a test system, a production system, and to transition the test system to the production system.

Abstract
A management application implemented in a computational device maintains priorities corresponding to a plurality of resources coupled to the computational device. Indications for actions to be performed corresponding to occurrences of events are stored to a calendar, wherein the calendar is configurable by a user. A selected indication for an action to be performed is stored to the calendar. In response to an occurrence of an event associated with a selected resource, a priority of the selected resource is determined. The action is performed, based on at least the determined priority of the selected resource and the selected indication for the action stored in the calendar, wherein different actions are performed in response to occurrences of a selected event at different times.
