Locking a configuration item guarantees that other users cannot change the item in the databank while you are working on it. After your changes are complete, you can check it into the databank and either release or continue to hold the lock. To lock a configuration:
1.
|
From the DataBank tab, select the file or files in the databank you want to lock.
|
To remove the lock:
1.
|
From the DataBank tab, select the file in the databank you want to release.
|
2.
|
Select the Release Lock option from the right-click menu and change the mode of the item in the workarea to read-only.
|
No configuration item can be locked by two or more users simultaneously. When you create a new configuration item (a chart or file that you have created but not yet stored in the databank), it is automatically locked by you. You can, therefore, always save such a configuration item into the databank.
