Job to lock users in APO?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We're having some locking issues with batch jobs in DP (using macros) because users occasionally have CVCs locked when the jobs are running. We have looked into additional data views for job scheduling using the key figure lock setting on the planning area - also running jobs during the night etc, yet we still have issues..

Is anyone aware of a job / program that can be run in the background to lock all business users (e.g. by a Role) prior to the standard batch jobs running, then run afterwards to unlock? - or any other suggestions?

Thanks

Hi

Also check whether transactions like su10,

/n/sapapo/om17 (lock/unlock users) will

serve your requirement

Hi All,

Thanks all for the quick feedback.. looks like the development is the way forward.

Unfortunately standard transactions like su10 and /n/sapapo/om17 dont allow you to save variants.

Hi Lim,

we have the same functionality implemented in which we lock the planning area before running the batch jobs specifically the release jobs and then unlock it after for user community.

We have created a Z program with selection fields for planning area and required planning area to be locked can be maintained in run in batch mode.

you can use the function 'ENQUE_DELETE' to achieve the same for deleting the user entries.

Let me know if it helps
