ESRI has increasingly pointed users to leverage direct connects to SDE instead of application connections. We have followed this model and overall performance of our system is good. However, I have more and more often run into problems with users locking feature classes which we need to perform maintenance on.
I'm looking for a method to kill all user direct connections and suspend any new connections during the maintenance window. "sdemon -o kill ..." and "sdemon -o pause ..." don't work on the direct connects. Anyone have a suggestion or better yet, code examples?
Thanks,
