Testing Lock Management (SAP Library - The SAP Lock Concept (BC-CST-EQ))

Testing Lock Management

You can use the diagnosis functions in the Extras menu to test the lock management facility for errors. Two test functions are available:

Diagnosis: checks whether the lock server is responding to lock requests. When a user locks an object, the work process in which the user is active and the lock server communicate to enter locks and then release them again. See also Functions of the SAP Lock Concept.

Diagnosis in update: this function checks whether a lock output for a transaction can be forwarded to an update server, which is active during the update, and released again.

The section entitled Questions and Answers Regarding Locks contains additional information on these diagnosis functions.

By choosing Extras ® Function info, you can display a brief explanation of how the lock management facility is implemented in a distributed environment.
