Maintenance mode in Apps

When we want to apply a patch in 11i, we first need to put the system in maintenance mode or else the patch will fail and error out. Enabling the maintenance mode feature shuts down the Workflow Business Events System and sets up function security so that no Oracle Applications functions are available to users. Also it ensures optimal performance and reduces downtime when applying a patch.

Here is how we do it->

Run adadmin>Change Maintenance mode>Enable Maintenance mode

And after applying the patch disable it.

Run adadmin>Change Maintenance mode>Disable Maintenance mode
