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.

Follow these steps:

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.
