Freezing a project

You can use an Ant task to freeze a project to keep other users from modifying the project.

If you have administrator rights, you can freeze a project in Decision Center to prevent other users from modifying the project until you unfreeze it. This feature is useful for such operations as maintenance, upgrades, and migration.

When a project is frozen, users who have the appropriate permissions have read-only access to the project. All the artifacts are locked, and they cannot modify anything in the project.

When a main project is frozen and depends on other projects, those projects are frozen, too.

ant freeze-project -DprojectName=loanvalidation-rules -Daction=freeze [-Dmessage="Project ''{0}'' is under maintenance. You may not update it."]

ant freeze-project -DprojectName=loanvalidation-rules -Daction=unfreeze
