Hi All,
We have a requirement to make Maximo 7.6 as read only for all users during the cut over for MAS 9 upgrade.
There are a couple of ways to achieve this. One solution could be to create a READ_ONLY security group and assign all the SLB users to this group and keep the READ option enabled along with enablement of basic options like running reports and viewing attachments. Since all the automated tasks will be brought down during the cutover like the cron tasks and async jobs, there is no way any update can happen to the existing Maximo 76 schema. We have used this approach successfully during events like yearly Inventory counting and reconciliation exercise and this worked well.
Second approach is to make objects read only by creating automation scrips and for that we have to identify all the objects used and carefully prepare the scripts.
If any of you have experience with this activity as part of MAS 9 go live, can you please share with me your experiences.
Thank you.
