Set Server Mode

POST /server/mode

Description

Manages the UCS Mode for the Context Services. Two modes are available: Maintenance and Production.

• If the server switches from maintenance to production mode, the system waits a configured amount of time (default 1 minute) for the completion of all schema management requests (see Schema Operations).
• If the server switches from production to maintenance mode, the system waits for outstanding profile or service-related functions to complete.
  While the system is attempting to switch modes, all web service requests are denied with HTTP Status Code 503 (Service Unavailable).

Read the Server Mode page of the developer's guide for further details about maintenance and production mode.
