Maintenance Window

Purpose

The Maintenance Window page in the Admin Console allows you to set a period of time to deploy application updates to your environment and write a message to display in a banner at the top of your site. During maintenance windows, all users except for system administrators will be logged out of the site, and a banner will display at the top of your site's login page for web and mobile.

Access

To access the Maintenance Window page, go to the Admin Console. Then, in the left navigation menu, under Authentication, click Maintenance Window.

Settings

Maintenance window settings include:

• Maintenance Status: Select Active or Inactive to start or end the maintenance window.

  While a maintenance window is active:

  • Only System Administrators will be able to sign into the site.
  • Basic users' active sessions will be expired.
  • REST endpoints will return a 401 error.
  • Published portals can't query data or perform actions in Appian. They will remain available but may behave unexpectedly until the maintenance window ends.

• Message: Enter the message that displays as a banner to users who attempt to sign into the Appian environment during the maintenance window.
