Turn on the dsdlockd process so that locks are automatically cleared every 15 minutes.

Log into the uvsh. Do a LIST.READU command. From here, you can go two ways, one way is to use

Code: Select all

DS.TOOLS

[/b]. This has menu options, so it would not be difficult to navigate (make sure you make a note of the PID listed for your job in the LIST.READU command)

Second way is to take the user number from LIST.READU and pass an

Code: Select all

UNLOCK USER <user number> ALL

. This releases all the locks held by that user!

The first question should have been WHEN to release locks? There are times when you should not, because it is not safe to do so.
