System Locks

Learn how to use the system lock info area.

You can lock the system for some or all users, allowing you to:

Back up your database
Note: Use the programs supplied with MS SQL or Oracle to back up the Aurea CRM database.
Edit the data model, see Data Model.
Rebuild corrupt indices, see Rebuild module
Perform maintenance, see Maintenance Module
Reduce system load if you are experiencing performance issues (e.g. by logging off certain users and locking them out of the system for a period of time)

You can:

Define system locks for specific dates or weekdays, see System Lock Info Area.
Lock the system on the fly, see Lock System Dialog Box.

Note: The system can only be locked by the system administrator (SU) or users assigned roles with access to the "System lock" process, see CRM Process Configuration.
