LANSA for the Web Administrator

3.5 Hold/Release LANSA for the WEB Systems

To prevent users accessing a LANSA for the Web system, you can place the system on "Hold". One on "Hold", the Web Administrator will allow IIS to continue to handle requests and pass them on to the Plug-in which displays the Hold message (that you have specified) as an HTML page. That is IIS is still serving the request passing it on to the Plug-in.

Normally you use the Hold System option in the LANSA for the Web Administrator.

LANSA for the Web is also provided with program W3@P2903 which you can use to Hold/Release LANSA Systems.
