Server modes and run levels for database staging table import

The database import tools do not require the server to run in a specific mode. You can perform database staging table imports in any of production, test, or development modes.

For many of the tasks required to import data by using database staging tables and the database import tools, you must set the server to the maintenance run level. The maintenance run level prevents new user connections, halts existing user sessions, and releases all database resources. The server prohibits access from the PolicyCenter user interface to the database whenever the server runs at the maintenance level.

Example commands are shown below.

API method: SystemToolsAPI.setRunLevel(SystemRunlevel.GW_MAINTENANCE)
Command prompt tool: system_tools -password password -maintenance
