Junctioned server in an offline state

Place a junctioned server in an offline operational state when we want to block all requests from all users. The offline operational state places the following conditions on the junction:

• An offline server continues to process existing requests.
• An offline server blocks all subsequent requests from all users.
• When a request is blocked by an offline server, it is retried on another replica server. If no replica servers are configured or available, an error page is returned to the user indicating the application server is offline.
• The offline operational state for a junction is stored in the junction database and is maintained across any restarts of the WebSEAL server.

• Offline command usage for standard WebSEAL junctions
  
• Offline command usage for virtual host junctions
