GAPTEQ offers a Maintenance mode with which applications can be specifically protected during sensitive work. Instead of inconsistent or incorrect displays, users see a maintenance page indicating temporary unavailability.
🔒 What does the Maintenance mode do?
If Maintenance mode is activated, the application is temporarily deactivated for end users and a corresponding message is displayed.
This is particularly helpful when, for example
- new repository versions are imported,
- pages are fundamentally revised or restructured,
- major changes are made to data layers or the app logic,
- bugs are fixed or system updates are installed.
- In the main menu of the GAPTEQ Designer, the maintenance mode can be activated / deactivated via the "Maintenance mode" button
- In the next step, the desired message for the users of the application can be defined, e.g:
✅ Advantages of maintenance mode:
- Protection against incomplete changes:
Prevents users from seeing or using parts of the app that are currently being worked on - Clean user communication:
Shows users that the app is being maintained - instead of confronting them with errors or blank pages - Secure environment for developers:
Changes can be made without having to pay attention to simultaneous access or accidentally disrupting active data flows. - Smooth rollout of new versions
