OBIEE 11g: Freeze Catalog - Toggle Maintenance Mode ON/OFF

Maintenance Mode is used for administration of Presentation Services. When Maintenance Mode is turned ON, users will not be able to save changes in Presentation Catalog - since it goes in to a read-only mode.

To turn Maintenance mode ON:
1. Log-in as an Administrator and click on Administration:



2. Under "Maintenance and Troubleshooting" section - click on Toggle Maintenance Mode - and notice the current status change to: ON/OFF


3. During maintenance mode, users will receive the following message:
"Unable to change edit/view mode: System is in Maintenance Mode. Please try again later."

Note: In clustered mode make sure to Toggle Maintenance Mode in Presentation Services of each computer.

Hope this helped!

  1. Hi, Can the toggling of Maintenance Mode be "Automated"?

  2. When would you use to automate this?
    I would recommend to look at the script while Toggle is On and Off with Element Inspector or Firebug (for Firefox) and write a script to turn it On/Off.

    Would appreciate if you shared your solution!
