Authorizing a Task

You can authorize tasks on the Task Center page so that they can be executed as scheduled within the maintenance window.

Currently, minor version upgrades of Microsoft SQL Server DB instances require authorization.

Log in to the management console.
Click in the upper left corner and select a region and a project.
Click Service List. Under Database, click Relational Database Service. The RDS console is displayed.
Choose Task Center in the navigation pane on the left. On the Scheduled Tasks page, locate the target task to be authorized and check whether the task status is To be authorized.
- If yes, go to 5.
- If no, no further action is required.
Click Authorize in the Operation column. In the displayed dialog box, select a scheduled date and the check box before the authorization notice, and click Yes.
After the task is authorized successfully, it will be executed as scheduled within the maintenance window.

The DB instance will be rebooted during the task execution, which causes service interruption. To prevent service interruption, you are advised to set the maintenance window to off-peak hours. For details about how to change the maintenance window, see Changing the Maintenance Window.
