How to Remove Your Own Lock

Dear Experts,

If there is any issue with the network/ connection, my XI/ PI object would get locked and I wont be able to edit unless this lock is removed. To remove this lock I would need Administrator's role. However we cannot give Admin access to every developer.

Is there any way with which a developer can remove the locks for his User-id only? In one of my previous projects, I saw a link being embedded in the XI homepage which said Remove your own locks . How to do the setting for this?

Tried [Searching|http://forums.sdn.sap.com/search.jspa?threadID=&q=%22removeyourown+locks%22&objID=f44&dateRange=all&numResults=15&rankBy=10001] in SDN but could not get any result. Appretiate if anybody can help on this regards.

~Thanks.

Direct URL for users to delete their own locks is:

http://<host>:<port>/rep/support/public/LockAdminService

Best regards,

Dear Srinivas/ Henrique,

Thanks a lot for your response.

I will try to summarize the steps which the BASIS tema has to follow:

1) Create a Docu.htm file in the folder location --> G:\usr\sap\XPI\SYS\global\xi\directory_server\extdocu (XPI being my SAP PI system)

2) Content of the Docu.htm file will be:

<html>
<body>
<p>ImportantLinks.</p>
<a href="http://<host>:<port>/rep/support/public/LockAdminService">Remove Your Own Lock</a>
</body>
</html>

host and port to be replaced by those of the SAP PI system

Q1) What is the difference between the URL given by Srinivas and Henrique?

Q2) Is it mandatory to create the file only with the name Docu.htm ?

I will ask the BASIS team to do the necessary changes and once the Link is enabled, I will close the thread.

Thanks once again.

Dear Experts,

The Links have been enabled and are working fine.

However, I am not able to see the links when I open the SAP PI Homepage in my desktop . I can see the same links (and also test them) from the desktop of my colleague. What could be the possible reason? Authentication surely has nothing to do with this!

~Thanks

Hi Abhishek,

You can see the Administration link in the right top side on your Integration builder page.As you said you

dont have access to that, then ask your Basis Administrator to unlock.They might have done like this to

control the access.

As you mentioned , there could be a direct link to unlock objects which can be created by basis by placing the

requred html page in the server loacation as mentioned below.

To add your content here create a file named

Docu.htm in the following directory:

G:\usr\sap\XPI\SYS\global\xi\directory_server\extdocu

XPI: replace this with your PI system name.

Regards,

Srinivas

Hello Srinivas,

As you mentioned , there could be a direct link to unlock objects which can be created by basis by placing the 
requred html page in the server loacation as mentioned below.

What would be the HTML page? Actually the Basis team (and even I) do not know about this setting and hence the issue.

To add your content here create a file named 
Docu.htm in the following directory: 
G:\usr\sap\XPI\SYS\global\xi\directory_server\extdocu 

Actually the requirement is to enable any developer to remove the lock on his/ her own objects. So what should be the content of the Docu.htm file?

Is the procedure same for all the PI versions (7.1 and 7.1 with EHP1)?

Thanks.

Hi Abhi

You need to create a Docu.htm page and place it in the mentioned loaction.

The content could be something like this

<html>
<body>
<p>ImportantLinks.</p>
<a href =" http://host:port/rep/support/admin/index.html ">Remove Your Own Lock</a>
</body>
</html>

This will take to the admin page directly , and to allow only to unlock your own ID , i think basis team has

their role and autherisation setup to achive this they will help you on this.

Regards,

Srinivas

on your home page i.e http://<host>:<J2EEport /dir/start/index.jsp, there will be a link named as 'Administration' open that link and then there you can look for LOCK OVERVIEW (for both ESR & ID sererately), use lock overview to unlock your objects.
