Datastage server Maintenance mode
Maintenance mode To prevent users from authenticating to IBM® InfoSphere® Information Server during maintenance, you can place it into maintenance mode with the SessionAdmin command. Use the same command to take InfoSphere Information Server out of maintenance mode and to determine the current maintenance mode. Placing InfoSphere Information Server in maintenance mode is useful when you do routine maintenance such as applying a fix pack or backing up the system. When in maintenance mode, only users with the suite administrator role and system users can authenticate. Note also that in the Web admin console, Maximum Sessions is not editable while InfoSphere Information Server is in maintenance mode.
