Environment Status
An environment can have a status of either Online or Offline.
A newly created environment has a status of Offline until an administrator makes it available for use by giving it a status of Online.
Features
When users attempt to log on to an environment that is offline, the system displays a warning to remind the users of the environment's status. With proper authorizations, users can continue to log on without affecting the functionality or data that the users can access.
When you transport an environment, the status of the environment must be set to Offline. When you perform consolidation functions, make sure the status of the environment is Online.
