Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Pausing a Schedule:

Pausing the schedule is the best practice for temporarily stopping a process. This maintains the schedule's configuration and simply suspends its execution for the specified period.

Maintaining Configuration:

Pausing the schedule ensures that once the period is over, the same schedule can be resumed without needing to recreate it or adjust any start/end dates. This approach is simpler and minimizes the risk of configuration errors.

Reactivation:

After the required period, the schedule can be easily unpaused to resume its normal operation.

Option A sounds like something a bureaucrat would come up with. Ain't nobody got time for that! Pause it and move on.

Good point. Maybe setting an end date and creating a new schedule would be safer.

I bet the IT guy who came up with option B has too much time on their hands. Pause the schedule and call it a day!

Option C looks good, but I'm worried about the potential for confusion with two schedules. Pausing seems like the cleanest approach.

Hmm, I'm not sure about retiring the schedule. That seems a bit excessive for a temporary stop. I'd go with option D.
