Switch application to read-only mode

It is possible to force the entire repository into read-only mode. This is useful when performing maintenance tasks or during migration, when you want to keep the system available but ensure that no changes can be made.

Field / Property	Type	Description
system.readonly	Boolean	Switch the whole repository to read-only. By default, it is set to false. false

Caution

If you restart the application, this parameter will be automatically reset to false (its default value). After a restart, write operations are allowed again without any manual change.

Note

For security and performance reasons, when you execute Lucene rebuild indexes, the system will automatically switch to read-only mode until the process is finished. Do not change this parameter manually while indexing is in progress; wait until the rebuild is completed.
