Changes in database maintenance options do not take effect immediately
Created: 05 Jun 2009 | 5 comments
After you configure database maintenance options, the new options are applied at midnight, and not immediately.
To configure the database options:
- In the console, click Admin > Servers, and then select a site.
- Under Tasks, click Edit Site Properties, and then click the Database tab.
To configure the management server to apply the database maintenance options immediately, you can configure the conf.properties file.
To configure the config.properties file:
- Open the conf.properties file, located in the C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\tomcat\etc directory by default.
- Change the following parameters:
- Change scm.object.idletime=3600000 (in milliseconds) to a smaller number. The default setting is 1 month.
- Change scm.timer.objectsweep=900 (in seconds) to a smaller number.The default setting is once per day.
- Save the config.properties file and restart the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager.

"the new options are applied at midnight" as: Every database perform a "sweep" function as a part of its maintainance activity and The defult time here is at 0000hrs assuming minimum activity
I would try to find if there is a way to change the time of the maintainance activity
Thanks :)
