Locking without Enqueue Process

Hi All,

Here is a strange scenario ;

- Standalone EP SP12 installation.

- Start J2EE

- Logon to Portal, open an iview(iviewA) to edit it

- Open "Monitor Locked Objects" within Portal to see the locked iview object

- Terminate enqueue server process manually on O.S Level.

- Open another iview object (iviewB) to edit in Portal

Now,if I try to edit iviewB with another user, I expect to edit it without any restriction although it is in edit mode by another user, because there is no enqueue process to handle the locks. But that does not happen! I'm still getting "Object is Read-Only" message if I try to edit iviewB and I can see the provided lock for iviewB in "Locked Objects List".

Another thing is, I can also still see the lock for iviewA in lock table even though there is no enqueue process.

Now, how can this be explained ? There is no lock server, but someone is still providing locks ???

Regards

Ahmet Tekin

It's entirely possible that the PCD which persists iviews uses internal persistent locks on an object level; and if it uses enqueue locks at all then most likely for cluster-wide synchronized access to critical PCD superstructures only.

What do you mean by critical PCD superstructures ? If it is true, than how will we know when is enqueue process used and when it is not ?
