Maintenance Mode
Hi All,
Microsoft Dynamics AX7 includes
a new system-wide setting that is named maintenance mode. When maintenance mode
is turned on, it provides a safe way for system administrators to make system
changes that might affect system functionality. For example, configuration keys
can be enabled or disabled. While maintenance mode is on, only system
administrators and users who have the Maintenance mode user role can sign in to the system. By
default, maintenance mode is turned off.
When maintenance mode is off, you can’t edit the License
configuration page,
as shown in the following screen shot.
You can turn on maintenance mode
locally by running the following command.
J:\AosService\WebRoot\bin\Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Deployment.Setup.exe
-bindir
J:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory
-metadatadir J:\AosService\PackagesLocalDi
rectory -sqluser sa -sqlpwd
Root1 -sqlserver DEMO-398AD61AC8 -sqldatabase AxDB -
setupmode maintenancemode
-isinmaintenancemode true
The following table describes
the parameters that are used in this command.
