Functions That Requires Single Mode

Functions that require single mode include optimizing the database and initiating the status register.

These are functions where you do not want to risk another user trying to update or make changes in the system.

Procedure

  1. Check if other users are logged into the system and ask them to log off. You cannot log them off automatically. If more users are logged on, you cannot enable Single Mode.
  2. On the Maintain menu, click User/Single Mode. The menu option is marked with a check mark.
  3. To disable the single user mode, perform step 2 again. The check mark in front of the menu is removed and other users can now access the system again.

Results

  • The status is displayed on the status bar in the lower right corner. If single mode is activated the text Single is displayed and if single mode is not activated the text Multi is displayed.
  • The following operations can only be performed in single user mode:
  • Maintain/Configuration/Define/Local Languages
  • Maintain/Database/Optimize
  • Maintain/Special Utilities/Initiate Status Registers
