    Hello,

    Database  Configuration Admin mode is not getting off  when  i ran AdminMode OFF from  Database  Configuration application action.

    in the table serversession it shows value 1 for column  ADMINCODE

    I RUN THE COMMAND TWICE  SetAdminMode  -mOFF   but still  Admin Mode is on.

    ibm maximo version 7.6.1


    #Administration

    Hi Sayad,

    Can you please share db logs or sysout logs for more information?

    Also you can turn off admin mode from back end using below query as well:

    UPDATE MAXVARS SET VARVALUE = '0' WHERE VARNAME = 'ADMINMODE';
    COMMIT;

    Assuming the DB config was successful, turning admin mode off and not having the system exit admin mode is almost always related to a service failing to reload. The WebSphere/Maximo logs as Sawan mentioned would be the best indicator of what caused it to fail to exit admin mode.

    If the DB config failed, you'll need to do more analysis & figure out how to resolve the issue.

    Hello  ,

    Thanks  Mr.  Steven and  Mr. Sawan  for your reply.

    Actually  i stop  JVM and delete record  entry from table ServerSession and restarted JVM. Issue Resolved.

    BTW.. For anyone going with IBM SaaS you are not allowed to do a DBCONFIG from inside MAS anymore even though it is there to use. You must do it always through the Self Service Portal (SSP) and it takes 40 minutes every time you run it (even a non structural change). I had to learn the hard way breaking a SaaS env doing it in the app and getting stuck never coming out of Admin Mode. ;-) its a real PIA!!!!
