Maintenance mode in Apps

[bhinav.phadnis]

Hi All,

Could any one help me to understand what all are the series of events happen when one put Oracle EBS into maintenance mode .

As far as i know it made all the Workflow Business events to be stopped and set up function security so that no oracle application functions are avail to users.

Maintenance Mode is only needed for AutoPatch Sessions. Other AD utilities do not require Maintenance Mode to be enabled. Maintenance Mode must be 'Enabled' before running AutoPatch and 'Disabled' after the patch application was completed.

When Maintenance Mode is disabled, you can still run Autopatch by using options=hotpatch on the command line, if necessary. However, doing so can cause a significant degradation of performance.
