Hi Martin,

that sounds like a great idea!

Unfortunately, I think that this won't be possible without support from the product (i.e. Pega 7) itself.

There are a couple of things to consider in advance: First of all, You will have to make sure that all people using the platform at a given moment, will be notified of the upcoming restart. Because of the underlying HTTP Request / Response model, it is not possible to send out the message as such. There will always have to be a request before.

Now, even if the the developer / user sends a new HTTP request e.g. by clicking an arbitrary control on the UI and the server could respond with a pop-up, You will have to make sure that all Portals include a UI-control that indicate the restart intention. In consequence, the Designer Studio portal rule would have to be modified as well so that the developer will be notified. As that rule is final and the Pega ruleset is locked You won't be able to easily create one Yourself.

Another idea could be to use Pega 7 in a HTML Frameset, but I doubt that this is possible due to browser / security restrictions and / or Pega limitations.

I really hope that there's a loop hole that I have overseen, but still hope that this helps.

Best regards

Wojtek

Hi

One easy and quick way could be to update userworkform HTML fragment rule with something like below and save it in application or organization ruleset.

This will show an alert pop up whenever user is trying to save or refresh their screen.

<script>

  alert();

  alert("Hello! For a planned maintenance  ,PRPC server will be restarted in 5 min. Please save your work and log out now ");

</script>

This can be updated or implemented by the admin whenever required and they should  have developer  portal access for this.

Mounika Thatikonda any suggestions?
