To Put a Database in Read-only Mode

1. While it isn’t necessary, you might choose to stop calendar services momentarily to prevent further corruption of the database.

   To stop calendar services:

   cal_svr_base/SUNWics5/cal/sbin/stop-cal

2. At a command line, change to the directory where the ics.conf is located:

   cd /etc/opt/SUNWics5/config

3. Specify read-only mode for the calendar database:

   caldb.berkeleydb.readonly=”yes”

4. When you have completed editing the ics.conf file, restart Calendar Server:

   cal_svr_base/SUNWics5/cal/sbin/start-cal

   You must restart the services in order for the ics.conf changes to take effect.
