Managing Locks

A running process with a lock, like all active processes, appears with a status of Running. If a locked process takes longer to complete than expected, you can cancel the process, or investigate it fully from the Locks page.

Navigate to Administration > Automation.

In the selection box, select Locks.

The Locks page lists any locks with the following information:

Field	Description
Name	The name identifies the lock and is defined in the lock step properties. The default name is a concatenation of the object name + process name + resource name, with slight variations for deployment package and global processes.
Type	This indicates whether the process creating the lock is a component, application, deployment package, or global process.
Component / Application / Deployment Packages	This displays the name of the object containing the lock. Click the link to display the corresponding page.
Resource / Environment	This displays the name of the resource or environment containing the lock. Click the link to display the Resources or Environments page.
Process	This displays the name of the process containing the lock. Click the link to display the process in the process editor.

Resolve the lock by selecting one of the following actions:

Action	Description
View Execution Details	Displays the process log for the process containing the lock. View its details to see the name of the process step causing the lock.
Release	Releases the lock, which enables the associated process to continue processing.

If the Deployment Automation server and or agents go down while a locked process is running, Deployment Automation will automatically restore any interrupted processes along with any locks they might contain once service is restored.
