9.4 Release All Configuration Locks
When certain configuration operations are in progress, software locks are set to warn other users who may
attempt configuration of the same item simultaneously (e.g., User 2 attempts to configure Summary 10
when User 1 has already begun configuring Summary 10). This applies to the following configuration oper-
ations:
• Graphics (locked by model name)
• Summaries (locked by index number)
1
• Trends (locked by index number)
• Security functions, including:
• Function access
• Default configuration
• User login
• Security activation
Normally a message, similar to that shown in Figure 9-4 , is displayed warning the second user that config-
uration of the item is already in progress by another, and providing an option to override the configuration
lock.
Click Yes to proceed and override the lock, or click No to exit without attempting to configure the item.
Click the Info button to exit the warning window and open a window (similar to
Figure 9-5 ) which lists the
other user(s) currently engaged in configuration of the item. The information provided about these users
includes the node they are logged in on, the Micro-PWC and time they commenced configuration.
If more than one user has an item open for configuration, the only changes which will take effect will be the
set of changes made by the last user to save the item.
If an abnormal condition arises while a configuration operation is in progress (a Micro-PWC shutdown as
the result of a power failure, for example), the configuration lock will remain set when the system is recov-
1. All groups in a Summary are locked when any one group iu that Summary is being configured.
