Record and Device Locks
B
What are Record and Device Locks?
This appendix explains how the COMSPHERE 6700 Series NMS Multiuser
feature uses record and device locks to protect the 6700 NMS database.
Procedures for viewing and forcefully unlocking these locks follow the
explanation. Locks enable the 6700 Series NMS in a multiuser environment to
protect the integrity of its database and the data contained within its devices.
Record Locks
When using the Multiuser feature, the first user to request a record in the
database receives the record with a read/write lock. Any additional users that
request the same record in the database are limited to read-only access.
Record locks can occur in the following NMS functional areas:
Cabinets
Carriers
Communications
Contact Names
Device Groups
Device Profiles
Device Options
Facilities
Hunt Groups
Network Map
Sites
Thresholds
