To Schedule the System Lockout

To notify users about the upcoming update and automatically lock out the system at the time, you can schedule a lockout by using the Apply Updates (SM203510) form. A message alerting users to the system lockout will be displayed on the Sign-In page.

Attention: When the lockout is in effect, the following happens in the system:
  • Only users that have the Administrator role can sign in to the system.
  • The system stops all processes that were run by a schedule.

To Schedule the System Lockout

  1. If you are not already signed in to the system, sign in to MYOB Acumatica.
  2. Open the Apply Updates (SM203510) form.
  3. On the form toolbar, click Schedule Lockout.
  4. In the Schedule Lockout dialog box, specify the date and time when the system will be locked out and the reason for the lockout.
    Note: If you want to update the system immediately, specify the current date and time.
  5. If you want to lock out only the current site (but not all sites that use the same database) clear the Lock Out All Sites check box.
  6. Click OK to lock out the system at the specified time.
