Hello, first of all a happy new year.
I know we have discussed this here before, but I cant find the appropriate thread, so I ask again. Which is the most simple, straightforward method to restrict write access during maintenance work such as moving from one machine to another, a system update and so on. In my case it means that I will point the DNS to my new machine. Browsing will likely continue to work at all times, but editing metadata and uploading new items is pro- bably no good idea during the transition. I dont want to make a big fuzz out of it, announce it three days in advance but rather switch when I am ready to, giving evidence to those that are currently logged in (if there will be some- body logged in at all, then one or two people maximum I guess). Is there a simple way to disable login on the old machine some minutes before I switch my nameserver? Withdrawing rights from the dspace database role wont be polite because a submission that is on the go will fail after all the data was entered already in the web form. Just to mention, I am still using DSpace 1.3.2.
