E8.12 Disable all users for a short period

[Rauf]

As we relocate our on-premise servers, we need to disable all JDE users for a short period ( like one day or two days). During these period, the servers will be up but we don't want any user to enter any transactions.

Okay, cool.

Oh... I forgot to complete the query.

How can we can disable all active users for a short time and then re-activate those users after our maintenance period ?

There's a few ways that come to my mind, you could e.g. set all SCEUSER in F98OWSEC to 02 (=disabled), except for JDE or other system users. With backups obvs., or setting an unused column so you can find your entries later on, Truncate the table completely... etc.pp. SQL gives you a lot of power here and it's very safe if you kill all sessions after doing so.

Depending on the amount you could also expire all their roles, except for SYSADMIN, take away their possibility to connect (as in shut down HTML instances and development clients or by network) etc.pp.

Or you could leave your web servers down, or disable logins on those web servers. Maybe have an admin-only web server that would remain up and running.

Well. As we are still using old fashioned SAW, is this possible ?
The below is the server options available.

Great.
I have chosen the second method.
