a. Purpose

The objective is to lock user connections in both situations :

  • during the execution of Static batches
  • during Release Go-Live day


When a Static is running, connections to the application are blocked. In the meantime administrators must be able to logon to manage issues.

When a Release is in progress, only DT Dynasys team is authorized to logon. DSCP applications are not available for end users. 


Therefore three modes may be activated : 

  • "Normal" : all connections available (Web, RD web, Terminal server,...)
  • "Strict" : no connection allowed, except administrators
  • “Release” : no connections allowed, except DT DSCP team (links to create)


How and when those modes will be activated ?

  • Static runs : the “Strict” mode is automatically activated as long as the batch is running
  • Release days : the “Release” mode can be manually activated by administrators


Messages/pop-up displayed depending on the active mode and the type of connection :


b. How to manually switch to another mode ?


Option 1 (recommanded) :

Steps

Screenshot

Step 1,

logon to the backend server as an administrator


Step 2,

  • Open D:\DynaSys\Batchs\Tools\Connections folder

where <Application> = one DP instance

Step 3,

  1. Right-Click :
    1. <Application> - Open all connections to switch to Normal mode
    2. <Application> - Lock all connections to switch to Strict mode
    3. <Application> - Active Release mode to switch to Release mode

  2. Run it as administrator



Option 2 :

Steps

Step 3,

  • type cmd in the search field
  • then right-click the Command Prompt program and run it as administrator

Step 4,

in the Command Prompt window:

  • type this command cd /d d:\dynasys\batchs
  • then Enter

Step 5,

To switch to Normal mode, type maint [module] n

To switch to Strict mode, type maint [module] s

To switch to Release mode, type maint [module] r

where [module] = one DP instance or ALL_DP,

                               one DIP instance or ALL_DIP


Tips : type maint in the command line to get the options 


Step 6,

The treatment automatically starts.

Once finished, type exit to close the Command Prompt window
