Review locks placed by the Batch Encumbrance Calculation Process, and reset the locks if necessary.

The system employs locking at various levels to prevent simultaneous budget checking for the same transaction. When a user attempts to perform real-time budget checking for a locked transaction, the system displays a concurrent processing error.

For whatever reason, there may be outstanding locks in the system that require manual intervention. The pages under the Reset Encumbrance Locks menu enable you to review and reset these outstanding locks at various levels.

Warning! Incorrect usage can corrupt budget actuals and document summary tables, cause potential deadlock, and cause other system issues. Access to the pages for resetting encumbrance locks should be restricted to knowledgeable application support personnel.

You can reset locks at these levels:

  • By Encumbrance Control: An encumbrance control lock is set when the Batch Encumbrance Calculation process is running. This lock prevents the system from performing any real-time budget checking or other batch process.

  • By Position: When real-time budget checking is being performed on a specific position, no other users can perform budget checks on that position until the first check is completed.

  • By Employee: When real-time budget checking is being performed on a specific Employee ID and record number, no other users can perform budget checks on the job data and related documents until the first check is completed.

  • By Document Line: When real-time budget checking is being performed on a job or position and its related documents, no other budget check is allow for the same document until the first check is completed.

    If job data changes occur for two employees in the same department that refers to the same document, the system performs real-time budget checking on only one employee at a time. The changes that are saved first are processed first; the user who makes the second job data change must wait for the first budget check process to be finished.
