modulesLock/UnlockJobs

Overview

The modulesLockJob and modulesUnlockJob jobs update values in the MODULE_LOCKED_IND parameters for all modules at one time to lock (Y) and unlock (N) modules from processing. When the modules are locked: 

• documents cannot be initiated or approved
• lookups cannot be accessed
• batch steps continue to run and document post-processing can occur
• users assigned to roles with permission Access Locked Module can access the system when it is locked
• unauthorized users will see the message specified in the MODULE_LOCKED_MESSAGE parameter. 

These jobs might be run when the system needs to be taken down for batch processing.
