RE: [U2] How to release locks (LIST.READU)
I dont believe LIST.LOCKS shows READ locks. Use LIST.READU EVERY to see all READU locks. Two commands for two different things. I dont know of any commands to release READU locks. The MASTER LOCKS command will release the synchronization locks, but not READU. One thing you could do is to MASTER OFF the user. This is not always the best thing. You could walk over to their terminal and back them out of what they are doing. You could also make use of TANDEM to take control of the terminal and do the same thing (if you dont like walking).

RE: [U2] How to release locks (LIST.READU)
Have a look at the UNLOCK command. This allows the system administrator in the UV account to unlock any lock set by a READU. Before you go round unlocking records make sure you know why the locks are there. Has someone just walked away from their screen for a while? Unlocking records can lead to problems later on.

Hi, The LIST.LOCKS command lists tasks synchronization locks. The LIST.READU command lists record and group locks. To release record and group locks you need the UNLOCK command.

RE: [U2] How to release locks (LIST.READU)
Hi, This is two different things LIST.LOCKS shows file locks and can only be released by the session or user that locked that file. To see record locks use LIST.READU EVERY this shows all locks set by a user Active Group Locks, Active Record locks and Active Semaphore locks as well. To release a lock you can use UniAdmin or from the UV account but you will need 'root' permissions to unlock the user, use UNLOCK command to release the locks. Type at TCL if in the UV account 'UNLOCK RECORD record.id ALL' this will release the locks held by that record, but note it will also release other locks like the semaphore and groups locks as well.

Re: [U2] How to release locks (LIST.READU)
Try: UNLOCK ALL to remove all locks. No! No! No! This command should never have been allowed. As another response said, this clears all locks (record, file, group, etc) for all users. It is highly likely to result in data integrity problems as processes find themselves updating the same record simultaneously and, far worse, releasing group locks can cause file corruption. Whenever I come across a user who has had a backward link error, my first question is do you use UNLOCK ALL. If they say yes, they are on their own! Always use the opions of UNLOCK to identify the exact lock you want to clear. Even then, you need to think about the application level impact of releasing a lock.
