Issue/Introduction

One PDS(E) library is locked by ESP WA Workstation users, how do you release it?

 

 

Environment

Release: ESP Workload Automation
Component: ESP Workstation

Resolution

The LISTLOCK and UNDOLOCK are the commands to use. They can be issued from CA ESP WA Workstation LMI or as command on "/F ESPWS,cmd".

Here are the examples:
The command sent to the server is: /F ESPWSS,listlock
ESPWSS4647I List of Currently Locked Files
ESPWSS4648I User ID Task Date-Time File
ESPWSS4649I USER02 2 00F810 20030801-141823 PROD.TEST.PROCLIB(TEST)
ESPWSS4650I Locks currently held = 1
ESPWSS000 -->

If you want to unlock the file, you then enter:
/F ESPWSS,UNDOLOCK ID(n) ------> where n is the ID number from the LISTLOCK command.
ESPWSS4644I 'UNDOLOCK ID(2)' submitted by user USER01 at 20030801-141934
ESPWSS4645I File PROD.TEST.PROCLIB(TEST) unlocked by USER01 at 20030801-141934; owner was USER02
ESPWSS4646I Locks released = 1
ESPWSS000 -->

Then PROD.TEST.PROCLIB(TEST) is no longer locked.

For recording purposes the LISTLOCK and UNDOLOCK are captured in the CA ESP Workstation Server STC log:
ESPWSS4638I File PROD.TEST.PROCLIB(TEST) locked
ESPWSS4644I 'UNDOLOCK ID(2)' submitted by user USER01 at 20030801-144124
ESPWSS4645I File PROD.TEST.PROCLIB(TEST) unlocked by USER01 at 20030801-1441
ESPWSS4646I Locks released = 1
