The powerful ability to suspend (quiet or quiesce) c-treeACE Server’s operations and later re-enable them allows administrators to perform maintenance or other on-demand activities without having to stop an application. Users are temporarily held back from operations. Files can be readily accessed for backup, especially useful for hardware-based disk snapshot utilities.
We now allow Non-ADMIN Users to Quiet c-treeACE. The c-treeACE quiesce feature is typically only enabled for an ADMIN user; however, there are times when the administrator may allow a non-ADMIN user to have this ability. To allow a non-ADMIN user to quiesce the c-treeACE Server via a call to ctQUIET(), the server configuration keyword COMPATIBILITY NONADMIN_QUIET has been added. This parallels the functionality of the existing COMPATIBILITY NONADMIN_FILBLK feature.
