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.
