Lock an Application

To avoid collisions caused by concurrent updates to an Application, you can manually lock the Application.

Note: The server locks the current version of the Application. You cannot lock old Application versions.

To lock an Application

1. Open the Define perspective.

   Your server connection appears in the Application Workspace view.

2. Right-click the server connection, and select Lock from the pop-up menu.

   Note: If you have downloaded the Application, right-click the Application and select Lock to lock the Application.

   The Lock Application(s) from Repository dialog opens.

3. Enter a search string in the Search string field.

   Note: For example, if your Application starts with JB, type JB to show a list of Applications that begin with JB. You can also use a wildcard ? to match a single character and a wildcard * to match zero or more characters. For example, J?C matches JBC but not JC, whereas J*C matches JC, JBC, and JBBC.

   The Applications that match your search string are listed.

4. Select the Applications you want to lock and click OK.

   Note: Press the Ctrl key while making your selections to select multiple Applications at once.

5. Click OK.

   The selected Applications are locked if they are currently unlocked.
