Provides instructions for enabling maintenance mode, allowing you to safely place the system in maintenance state for temporary shutdown and data synchronization before performing system updates or other maintenance tasks.
Maintenance mode provides a means for shutting down the Cisco Crosswork Planning system temporarily. Cisco Crosswork Planning synchronizes all application data before shutdown. It can take several minutes for the system to enter maintenance mode and to restart when maintenance mode is turned off. During these periods, you should not attempt to log in or use the Cisco Crosswork Planning applications.
Before you begin
Make a backup of your Cisco Crosswork Planning system before enabling maintenance mode.
Notify other users about your intention to put the system in maintenance mode. Give them a deadline to log out. Once you initiate the maintenance mode operation, it cannot be canceled.

The system synchronizes data, shuts down temporarily, and enters maintenance mode.

If a reboot or restore was performed when the system was previously put in maintenance mode, the system will boot up in the maintenance mode and you will be prompted with a pop-up window to toggle the maintenance mode off.
-
If you do not see a prompt, even when the system was rebooted while in maintenance mode, toggle the maintenance mode on and off to allow the applications to function normally.
