What is the difference between a transient lock and a permanent lock in Strategy Command Manager?
The following commands are issued to lock the project and configuration in Strategy Command Manager:
LOCK CONFIGURATION ;
LOCK PROJECT "<project_name>" ;
There are 2 types of locking:
- PERMANENT: Issued when the PERMANENTLY flag is included, this will lock from modification from any user or session until unlocked.
- TRANSIENT: Issued when the PERMANENTLY flag is omitted from the command, this lock will accept modification only from the current user-session. This is a unique feature of Strategy Command Manager. Strategy only locks "permanently", there's no option for locking either the project or configuration "transiently". When a transient lock is issued, it will automatically be released when the user exits Command Manager. On the other hand, a permanent lock will not be released automatically.
