  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    You have tried to switch the Decision Service Manager to edit mode.
    However, user &v1& is already using the system in edit mode. Therefore,
    all other users are restricted to display mode as long as the editing
    session of user &v1& is active.

    System Response

    The Decision Service Manager is running in display mode.

    How to fix this error?

    As long as the editing session of user &v1& is running, you cannot
    change the settings that are available in the Decision Service Manager.
    However, this does not mean that you cannot deploy services that have
    already been defined. The edit mode of the Decision Service Manager is
    only related to those activities that are dealing with setting up
    managed systems and defining the applications and services to be
    deployed. In contrast to that, you can always deploy the already defined
    services to a managed system, and you can also access the deployed
    source code, as well as the XML representation.
    If, however, you want to change the definitions or add additional
    functions as services, you have to wait until user &v1& has finished the
    editing session.

    Procedure for System Administrators

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
