Loaded
This is the typical project mode. When a project is loaded, MicroStrategy
Intelligence Server accepts requests from users and submits jobs to the database
for processing.
Execution idle
In this mode, MicroStrategy Intelligence Server continues to accept requests from
clients for the project but does not submit any SQL to the database. All database
connections associated with the project are closed. This mode allows you to
perform maintenance tasks on the warehouse while users continue to access nondatabase
dependent functionality.
For example, users can run cached reports, but they will not be able to drill
because drilling requires additional SQL to be submitted to the warehouse.
Request idle
In this mode, MicroStrategy Intelligence Server stops accepting new user requests
from clients for the project. However, jobs that are already being processed
continue to be processed and SQL is submitted to the database.
Full idle
In this mode, users cannot access the project and no jobs from the project can be
sent to the database. Users cannot submit requests to MicroStrategy Intelligence
Server and all database connections associated with the project are closed. Once
all connections are closed, MicroStrategy Intelligence Server makes a complete
backup of all necessary files.
