You can create an operation rule to prevent media refresh operations during peak hours. CommCell operations can be run anytime without restriction. To prevent certain operations from running during specific time periods of the day, you can define operation rules. When operation rules are configured, operations that are started within the time interval specified are placed in a queued (as opposed to pending) state. When the interval has elapsed, these queued or running operations will resume automatically.
