To shut down PPM for all users in your organization:
- Choose Start > Programs > Primavera Portfolio Management > Stop Portfolio Management.
After you confirm your choice, users cannot access the application.
Note: In scaled-out configurations, this stops components only on the server it is used on. To completely start PPM, perform this operation on all (front-end and back-end) servers. Start with the front-end server(s) and then proceed with the back-end server.
