Enabling Studio Locking
When the Studio locking is enabled, Studio forces users to acquire a lock prior to changing a resource. However, the TDV Server Web services API does not honor this Studio Configuration setting.
The requirement for Studio resource locking prior to changing and saving resources can be disabled for the entire server by any administrator with the Modify All Resources right.
Existing locks persist regardless of whether Studio requires locks prior to modification. When Studio locking is disabled, users can still optionally use resource locks to prevent simultaneous, conflicting changes to a resource.
To enable locking
1. Make sure you have both Modify All Config and Access Tools rights.
2. Log into Studio as the admin user.
3. From the Administration menu, choose Configuration.
4. In the tree pane, navigate to Studio > Locking > Enabled.
5. For Enabled, select True.
Disable Studio Locking by setting Enabled to False.
6. Click Apply.
7. Click OK.
This Studio configuration change is not immediately propagated to other open instances of Studio connected with this server, but any attempt to save resources forces a check to see whether the Studio Lock is enabled.
8. Restart the TDV Server.
