The LOCK function (option 3 on the Main Function Menu) provides a level of security control one step beyond pre-authorization. Lock processing is designed to prevent use of an CA Endevor/DB userid or CCID, and/or to prevent a dictionary from being updated. LOCK is a temporary condition; when it is determined that access can be allowed again, the locked entity is simply unlocked.

You can lock the following entities:

An CA Endevor/DB User (userid) - which prevents signon by that userid. All other user functions remain unaffected.
CCID - which prevents signon under that CCID. All other CCID functions remain unaffected.
Dictionary - which prevents any modifications from being done in the dictionary. The dictionary is still available for display and the corresponding CCDB is available for normal processing.

To request this facility, fill in an option value of 3 and press Enter from the Main Function Menu.

Before reading further, you should be familiar with the screen-handling information in Chapters 1 through 3.

When you press Enter, CA Endevor/DB returns the Lock/Unlock Functions screen. The subfunction menu displayed for any given user may differ from that shown here, depending on whether menu items have been masked from use by security.

Three types of options are available with lock processing: BROWSE, LOCK, and UNLOCK. The actual lock and unlock functions (options 2 and 3 - Lock/Unlock Users, 5 and 6 - Lock/Unlock CCIDS, and 8 and 9 - Lock/Unlock Dictionaries) are administrative in nature and will normally be performed by an authorized user in your organization. Should you need information about either of these options, talk to the appropriate person or refer to the CA Endevor/DB for CA IDMS Administrator Guide.

The BROWSE option for users, CCIDs, and dictionaries is described below. For each option, the description includes its use and instructions to process. The detailed screens for user processing are described individually, following the option summary.
