An error message indicates that a database table, or an object in a table, is locked

An error message indicates that a function cannot be performed because a table, or an object in a table, is locked. However, the table or object does not appear to be locked by another IBM Workload Scheduler process.

Cause and solution:

The probable cause is that a user has locked the table by using the database command-line or GUI:

DB2®: Just opening the DB2 GUI is sufficient to lock the database tables, denying access to all IBM Workload Scheduler processes.
Oracle: If the Oracle command-line is opened without the auto-commit option, or the GUI is opened, Oracle locks all tables, denying access to all IBM Workload Scheduler processes.

To unlock the table close the command-line or GUI, as appropriate.

Note: IBM Workload Scheduler provides all of the database views and reports you need to manage the product. You are strongly recommended to not use the facilities of the database to perform any operations, including viewing, on the database tables.
