Schedule Freeze activity for the future time for patching activities.

Answered
Chakrapani Rao User

We would like an option in the Fivetran HVR Portal to pre‑schedule a freeze window by specifying a future start date/time and duration. Our maintenance window typically runs from 2:00 AM to 7:00 AM, and the ability to configure this freeze in advance would significantly reduce the need for real‑time DBA intervention during patching activities.

Currently, the only option available to freeze in UI - "Right Now".

    Hi Cakrapani,

    You can freeze the hub using :

    CLI
    bash hvrhubconfig -f <hub> *or set the hub state explicitly* hvrhubconfig <hub> Hub_State=FROZEN

    REST API
    http POST /api/v6.1/hubs/{hub}/freeze
     
    You could use that in an (external) scheduler.
     
    Best regards,
    Edwin

    That is correct. We are currently using that script via crontab on the hub server. We have three hub servers in total, and only the engineering team has access to them; the DBA team does not.

    If this capability were available directly in the hub server UI or as a built-in option, it would be very helpful. The on-call ITEO team could then schedule and execute it themselves during patching events or unplanned outages, without requiring direct hub server access.
