Placing an administrative lock on the server

Administrators can place an administrative lock on the server.

An administrative lock blocks new build requests. Blocked requests are saved and start when the lock is released. Processes that are processing when the server is locked continue normal processing. When the server is unlocked, the server status is Normal; when the server is locked, the status is Administrative Lock. Administrative locks are typically used in preparation for server maintenance.
