Make Cognos Connection Unavailable during nightly ETL Run

Hello!

We'd like to make Cognos Connection unavailable during our nightly ETL cycle.  We use Cognos 8.3 and the Data Manager product.  Ideally, we'd like to have a little splash screen that says "Cognos Connection is Unavailble.  Try back later" if the user tries to access Cognos Conenction during our Data Manager job.  Does anyone have a straight-forward technique that they could share?

Thanks for your assistance,
Camille
