Maintenance Mode

Overview​

Frame Administrators can enable Maintenance mode to prevent their users from starting production sessions within the Frame Account. This feature is useful when an administrator is making configuration changes (e.g., networking, adding/upgrading an SGA, changing the Windows domain settings, etc.) that are expected to prevent or limit users from starting or continuing with their Frame sessions.

Frame Administrators can access the Frame Account Sandbox and Utility servers, regardless of whether the Frame Account is set to maintenance mode.
