Utility Locking

Utility Locking

Some utilities require exclusive use of certain MDM-RE system resources. These include the:
  • Table Loader
  • Update Synchronizer
  • Refresh / Delete utility
When the utility starts it will acquire application level locks within the Rulebase for the appropriate resources. Other processes that require the same locks will not be allowed to run.
For example, locks are used to prevent two Update Synchronizers from updating the same IDT and IDXs concurrently.
The
lockmgr
utility (documented in the
Batch Utilities
chapter) is used to list and delete locks in the situation when a utility terminates abnormally while holding locks. In most situations MDM-RE is able to determine that the utility has crashed to unlock the resources automatically. The
lockmgr
utility can be used to manually unlock resources in the rare circumstances when automatic unlock is not possible.
