Managing Concurrent Access Concurrent access means that two users are accessing a console in write mode at the same time. TIBCO Administrator handles the situation as follows: • When the second user accesses the console, that user is informed that another user has locked the console. The name of the user is provided. For example: Figure 24 Object Locked • The user is given the opportunity to break the lock. In general, you should break the lock only if you are sure that the first user is no longer working with that console and has, for example, exited uncleanly or gone on vacation. If you break the lock and the other user is actually in the process of making changes to the same console, that user will then get a lock message when trying to save. That can potentially lead to confusing situations. For example, user eric would get the following message when attempting to save. Figure 25 Message On Breaking Lock
