Quiescing and unquiescing databases

You can use the Quiesce menu option to immediately force all users off a database. Similarly, you can use the Unquiesce menu option to return the database to an active state so that all users can access the database.

1. Expand the object tree until you find the database that you want to quiesce or unquiesce.
2. Right-click the desired database and select Quiesce or Unquiesce from the pop-up menu. The database will be quiesced or unquiesced immediately.
