• Create a modifiable copy of the EMS server configuration file, and store it in the working directory.
• Lock the EMS server configuration file so only the current user can modify it.If another user holds the lock, the Lock Conflicts page opens. Finish editing and deploy all modified EMS server configurations.
• Auto-save the modified configuration files of all EMS servers locked by the user to the working directory, and package them as a deployment.
• If the deployment succeeds, the web interface releases the lock, and displays the Deployments Page.
