Release a database restricted mode

During critical operations such as updating or restoring the Alfabet database, a restricted mode is set for the connection to the Alfabet database that inhibits users other than the current user to access the Alfabet database.

The restricted mode automatically ends with the end of the critical operation. However, it is possible that the restricted mode may persist even if the critical operation has ended. In this case, you will need to release the restricted mode for the relevant database using the Alfabet Administrator.

To release the restricted mode, use the following command line for the AlfaAdministratorConsole.exe:

• AlfaAdministratorConsole.exe -msalias <alias name> -DbUser <username> -DbPassword <password> -db_releaserestrictedmode

The table below displays the command line options:

Command Line Option	Mandatory/ Default	Explanation
-db_releaserestrictedmode	Mandatory	To release the restricted mode, start the console application with -db_releaserestrictedmode
-msalias <alias name>	Mandatory	Enter the server alias name as specified in the AlfabetMS.xml configuration file for access to the database.
-msaliasesfile <Alfabet configuration file path>	Optional	If the AlfabetMS.xml configuration file that contains the specification of the alias is not located in the same directory as the executable, the path to the AlfabetMS.xml file must be specified with this parameter.
-DbUser <user name>	Mandatory	User name for access to the Alfabet database on the database server. If the access mode to the Alfabet database (27) is Windows Authentication, the command line option -DbUser must be defined without a value for the user name and -DbPassword is not required.
-DbPassword <user password>	Optional	Password for access to the Alfabet database on the database server.
