Abstract
A quiescence mode for a portal allows a portal configuration to be protected from changes. This allows the configuration to be maintained during long running operations without a risk that the portal configuration will be changed during the operation.
Claims17
A method for operating a portal, comprising:
- generating a portal using a portal configuration, the portal configuration including a portal definition and portal elements identified by the portal definition;
- enabling or disabling changes to the portal configuration based on a quiescence mode that includes a read-only mode, a static mode and a prepare mode;
- and wherein
- in the read-only mode of the quiescence mode, the portal is produced from the portal configuration, but the portal configuration can not be changed;
- in the static mode of the quiescence mode, the portal is not accessible;
- and
- in the prepare mode of the quiescence mode, the user is warned not to change the portal configuration;
- and
- wherein at least one of the (1) generating step and (2) enabling or disabling step is executed using at least one processor.

A method for operating a portal, comprising:
- generating a portal;
- and
- determining whether to display a portal element of the portal using a quiescence mode that includes a read-only mode, a static mode and a prepare mode;
- and wherein
- in the read-only mode of the quiescence mode, the portal can be produced from portal configuration, but the portal configuration can not be changed;
- in the static mode of the quiescence mode, the portal is not accessible;
- and
- in the prepare mode of the quiescence mode, a user is warned not to change the portal configuration;
- and
- wherein at least one of the (1) generating step and (2) determining step is executed using at least one processor.

A computer storage medium having store thereon computer executable instructions for performing the steps comprising:
- generating a portal using a portal configuration, the portal configuration including a portal definition and portal elements identified by the portal definition;
- and
- enabling and disabling changes to the portal configuration based on a quiescence mode that includes a read-only mode, a static mode and a prepare mode;
- wherein in the read-only mode of the quiescence mode, the portal is produced from the portal configuration, but the portal configuration can not be changed;
- wherein in the static mode of the quiescence mode, the portal is not accessible;
- and
- wherein in the prepare mode of the quiescence mode, the user is warned not to change the portal configuration.
