Provide updated instructions for applying db config/admin mode to clustered environments

Recently, IBM fixed some issues regarding applying db config/admin mode in clustered environments:

  • IJ33436: PRESENTATION CACHE RELOAD DURING ADMIN MODE PREVENTS JVM FROM EXITING ADMIN MODE

    • An issue with caches was resolved in 7.6.1.2 IFIX 12


Meanwhile, IBM Support has pointed us to a TechNote that provides recommendations/instructions for applying db config/admin mode in clustered environments.

"We recommend that when you are planning to go into admin mode that you shut down all the JVMs but one."

That implies that it needs to be done through the command line/WebSphere, not exclusively through the Maximo UI.


Those instructions are out of date, since some of the issues were fixed. Could IBM provide updated instructions for applying db config/admin mode to clustered environments?

  • There seems to be a lot of confusion in this area. Some people apply db config/admin mode to clustered environments exclusively through the Maximo UI -- supposedly without issue. While other organizations are still under the impression that it's dangerous to do that. Instead, they do it through the command line/WebSphere. But that isn't the preferable option for some organizations (like ours). So if that's not necessary, and db config/admin mode can be applied exclusively through the Maximo UI, then we need some official information on it to help guide us going forward.
