Setting the maintenance on makes the system readonly. This feature is of particular importance to us when you want to do maintenance activities but still allow the users to access the application. Users will not be able to save any reports and thus maintain the consistancy of the webcatalog.
You need to be able to access the Administration page from your answers login.
The maintenance mode can be toggled ON/OFF on the main OBIEE page when you login to analytics with the link http://servername:port/analytics. At the top right corner of the page click administration link, on the resulting page under Maintenance and Troubleshooting section, you will notice the link toggle Maintenance Mode. Click the link to turn ON/OFF. In a clustered environment the mode can be toggled on each node separatley.
When set ON, users will recieve a message saying the "System is in Maintenance Mode. Please Try again later". whenever any user tries to save a report.
This means that you as administrator can lock down changes to the dashboard and catalog while a release is underway, a backup is taking place, .... Usually some activity where it is ideal that no changes are being made until the operation completes.
