Issue/Introduction

The ucsrv.lck file is preventing CPs and WPs from starting.

Cause

The ucsrv.lck file is used to determine which process is allowed to write to the ucsrv.ini file. This is the designed functionality.

Environment

Release: AUTWAB99000-11.0-Automic Workload Automation-Base Edition
Component:

Resolution

Use the Service Manager to start/stop the CP/WPs so the lock file isn't preventing the AE from starting.

Workaround:  Delete the ucsrv.lck file.
