Managing Lock Entries 

Use

The purpose of lock management is to monitor the lock logic of your system. You can determine the locks that are currently set. Locks for which the backup flag is set (because they have already been transferred to the update task) are highlighted (see Choosing and Displaying Lock Entries).

This enables you to detect and rectify problems, for example, by deleting locks that are no longer required.

Integration

The SAP lock concept works in close conjunction with the SAP update facility, which is described in the section entitled Update in SAP System.
