Lock Administration and Monitoring with the Console

You can execute the functions provided by the Locking Service using shell commands. You can use this method as an alternative to NetWeaver Administrator.

Prerequisites

Procedure

In the command line in the Telnet console, enter man. This displays all the shell commands groups and associated commands that are available to the shell environment.
To add the LOCKING shell commands group to the environment, enter add locking.
