Table lck files

Hi All,
In SQL 2005/BPC 7(I think I am at SP1, but upgrade scheduling is in process, which might answer this question)
I am seeing an issue where table locks are getting created, and I can't figure out why. Several threads on this forum talk about input templates hanging and not sending their data due to lck[application name] holding onto a stale lock. Removing the lock seems to correct the issue.
What I can't figure out is why the locks are getting in there. Some times it's evident, a user left it open the server rebooted etc etc, but once a month we reboot the server (SQL and App) just for housekeeping. Post-reboot I check for locks, and there are none. One users opens an the input template to add forecast data, and the input never finishes. We see locks in the db from that user - I remove them, reboot again, and voila that user can now input normally.
Any thoughts appreciated -
Edward

Hi Edward,
You already have the answer to your query.
Whenever a user is trying to access a particular region, that region gets locked, so that, noone else can change that region. Because in that case, if some other user changes the data, the first user will get affected. This is the reason this region gets locked and you can see this in the lck table. Now, if the user is accessing a region and if his task doesnt get completed (the template gets hanged), then the region is not released. Only when the task gets completed, the region is cleared and the lock entries are deleted from the table. However, if the task is not completed, then the lock entries will remain in the table and no other user can work on that region. The users will definitely be able to work on other data sets but not on this region. So, the lock needs to be deleted manually.
So, instead of looking at the lock table issue, I would suggest you to look into the users as in why their task is not getting completed.
Hope this helps.

  • Search Remote Files... or ...How Do I Delete All of My LCK Files?

    hey everyone.
    i need to delete a bunch of .LCK files from my server so
    Dreamweaver
    will stop telling me someone else has stuff checked-out and
    that i need
    to enable blah blah blah. i can't just check everything in
    because A.
    that would take forever and B. the "person" who has them
    checked out is
    actually me, from a previous site definition that is now gone
    because i
    had to recreate it.
    unless i'm missing something (and i've been spending some
    time looking
    for it), there doesn't seem to be a way in Dreamweaver (at
    least in
    version 8, which is what i have) to search for files on the
    remote view.
    and even if there was, it doesn't look like the remote view
    displays
    hidden files, i.e. .LCK files.
    my server control panel does give me the option to search for
    files
    using the file manager, but it only searches the folder you
    have
    selected, and no sub-folders. there are hundreds, maybe
    thousands of
    folders on this thing, and it would really take a long time
    to click on
    each and every folder, search for the .lck files, and then
    delete them.
    so, my question is, what would be the best/easiest way to
    find and
    delete .lck files (or really, any file for that matter) on
    the remote
    server?
    thanks!

    i do NOT want check-in/check-out enabled. i'm trying to get
    rid of it
    altogether, but i tried selecting the checked out files to
    check them
    back in, and it said there were none.
    there is no "unlock" option, so i guess i need to pick check
    in. but
    here's my question, since it's this other instance of "me"
    that has them
    checked out, will this work? it's not recognizing me or my
    computer or
    whatever as the person who has them checked out. i think it's
    because i
    had to recreate my site definition about a week ago or so,
    and i deleted
    the old one. so it's like a user that no longer exists has
    them checked out.

  • My Java File gets a .LCK file attached - do not want it there

    I have a couple of Java files. When I go to compile them the IDE will not enable the compile option from the drop down list. I found there is a .LCK file in the same directory with the same name as my File..
    IE if my file name was Basketballs.java there is a .LCKBasketball.java
    When I erase the file from the directory it allows me to compile it but once I compile the file it creates a new .LCK file and the whole problem starts all over again.
    What must I do to stop this .LCK file from being produced so my file does not get locked from use.
    Or is this a silly virus that somebody put on my computer?

    This is a question the should have been asket at the unidentified IDE's website. It does not involve Java.

    Oracle 11g - External Table/Remote File Issue?
    =============================
    I hope this is the right forum for this issue, if not let me, where to go.
    We are using Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1.0) on (Platform : solaris[tm] oe (64-bit)), Sql Developer 3.0.04
    We are not allowed to put files on the CSV file system (Server A), where DB instance is running. We are able place CSV files on another server(Server B), where DB instance is not running.
    We are trying to use oracle external table to load text files in .CSV format.
    How do we create a Directory (Create Directory) on Server A DB to point to File system of Server B?
    Is it feasible?
    Any idea?
    Thanks in helping.

    The Solaris DBA should be able to mount the filesystem for you. Either that or you have to get creative transferring the file like this;

  • Dynamicall​y Changing Table to File - Advice?

    My current setup for logging data selected by the user has been to a simple csv file with each read going to a new line.
    This has proved to be very annoying as the user must then reformat this file to their liking.  An example would be that the user requested a voltage and current at the same time and would like them to be in separate columns on the same row.
    Example:
    Before
    Time,Measurement,Value
    0:10:00,Voltage Measure,5.1
    0:10:00,Current Measure,.12
    0:20:00,Voltage Measure,4.2
    0:20:00,Current Measure,.23
    After
    Time,Voltage Measure,Current Measure
    0:10:00,5.1,.12
    0:20:00,4.2,.23
    and so on...
    So I have decided to allow the user to assign Measurements to a certain "column" in a table.  And for every measurment at that time (1 second intervals), it gets put into the apropriate column.  Then if a measurement comes at a different time, go to the next row and keep going.
    My issue is if there is an efficient way to go from a table to file??  I know there is ArrayToFile but didn't see any TableToArray or TableToFile (csv type) (may add that as a request).
    Code replies are appreciated since I would want this to be as efficient as possible.
    Dependent on people's replies would indicate how often I should flush to the output.  
    Thanks

    Never tested it against efficiency, but the easiest way of passing data table to a file is using the clipboard: the following code reads an entire table into the clipboard and creates a file with table content; columns are tab-separated, rows are ended with usual CRLF termination, empty cells are honoured; the file can be read next with notepad.
        int        avail, fH = 0;
        char    *txt = NULL;
            ClipboardPutTableVals (panel, control, VAL_TABLE_ENTIRE_RANGE);
            ClipboardGetText (&txt, &avail);
            if (avail) {
                fH = OpenFile ("table.txt", VAL_WRITE_ONLY, VAL_TRUNCATE, VAL_ASCII);
                WriteFile (fH, txt, strlen (txt));
                CloseFile (fH);
            if (txt) free (txt);

  • Open Hub Destination Table Vs File

    Hello Experts,
    We have a requirement to send data from BW to 3rd party system every day. In the Open hub destination we have two options for the target.
    1. Table
    2. File
    ETL tool like Informatica will extract the data from table or file into 3rd party sytem.
    Which way is the best in performance and maintenance?
    Thanks in advance
    Sree

    Hi,
    If you follow the delta mechanism then table is good. You can also go for File not a problem. See the both eamples in the following articles.
    If you use Fiels then go for Application Server option, i.e. AL11 becasue no one can change teh files in this location, you can restrict the authorizations.

  • Getting the Datatype error data into a table or file

    Hi experts,
    I have a scenario where I need to capture the datatype mismatch records between source & target or the data length error records into a table or file.
    For example.
    1. I have source table column of datatype varchar which is mapped to a target table column of datatype Integer.
    2. I have source table column of datatype varchar2(2000) is mapped to a target table column of datatype varchar2(200).
    I know that while interface execution, if any of the above scenario comes an error occurs respectively and execution stops.
    My question is whether is there anyway to capture those types of records and insert into a table or file. If yes kindly suggest me how to do it.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Siva,
    Use SqlUnload tool to capture error out records in excel file.
    Hope this will helps you
    Thanks,

  • LCK files being created with PAK files when processed through ODDC

    I'm encountering a problem where after commit of a batch in ODDC the files are transferred to the server, but the PAK files are accompanied by a LCK file that is preventing the Distributed Document Capture service from picking them up and processing them. This started occurring after ODDC Patch 4 (14538424) was applied. I'd blame the patch, but not all users encounter the problem. Users encountering the problem are using Win7 and IE9. That said, users that don't encounter the problem are using the same OS and browser. Has anyone encountered this before? What was the resolution? I suspect it's a browser setting, but haven't identified it yet.
    Thanks

    I stumbled on a link in the oracle forum which says that the "create or replace package XXX" at the start of the PL/SQL procedure when run seems to intermittently cause the ORA-04068: existing state of packages has been discarded problem.
    As per the solution suggested an “alter package XXX compile" can be executed after the changes are made and then we would no longer get the error in BPEL/ESB and dont have to bounce the server too.
    __http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=185762_

  • Export of IMG tables to files

    Hello !
    I'm a forum newbie so please forgive me if this post should be in another group, but it seems to me like kind of "general" question though :).
    I have to make a backup of all configuration made by IMG. Actually I have to export all tables to files.
    I can't find any nice solution so I'm using S_CUS_IMG_SELECT_NODES function to get all IMG nodes and I analyze them to see where are the data related.
    By reading activities and references in most cases I can get names of maintenance views or cluster tables views.
    For now I have the following problems:
    - how to read data from maintenance view to a internal table?
      I guess I have to analyze how this view is build, make a genuine select with joins which will select the same data as the view and then store this data to a file. Any other solutions?
    - how can I read and store data from cluster tables views?
    This seems to be quite complicated problem so maybe any other solutions to solve it?
    Thank You in advance for any insights on this matter and I would appreciate any help You can give me.

    In the new SQL Developer Early Adopter the export feature (now renamed to unload) has been vastly reworked and improved, and has the option to export to multiple files, you can give this a try.
    Mind there is a missing feature (export to clipboard) that has been removed by mistake in the EA, it will be restored for the production release, and for the next EA's.

  • Over-riding .LCK files on Inherited Website

    Is there any way of over-riding .LCK files?
    I’ve recently been given access to administer a
    department webpage at a university and defined a site on my
    computer - but when I accessed the server's directory I found the
    .htm files have the .LCK extension. I was able to download the
    files but am prevented from uploading any files. The original
    webperson has left and no one has any information.
    I was checking the archives and see that the .LCK is related
    to Dreamweaver's "check-in/check-out" feature which allows tracking
    of files when working in groups. But since I'm now become "the
    group", how do I over-ride this feature so I can work on the .htm
    files?
    ~CK

    Just delete the lck files on the server as I mentioned
    before.

  • .lck files not automatically deleting

    We save all of our .fm book and chapter files to a central server, and recently we've noticed that when we close a file the .lck file does not automatically delete. Thus, we are having to manually delete this before updating books, opening files, etc. We're using FM8 on PC's with Win 7 x64. We have FM set to run in XP x32 compatability mode, which is working pretty well for us aside from the aformentioned issue.
    Has anybody else run into this? Any ideas on a fix?
    Thanks! Scott

    Do the lock files actually still exist?
    If you're discovering them because FM is complaining on open, then yes they effectively still exist (although possibly only in server FS cache).
    But if you're merely seeing them in a file browser, they may or may not be there. Doing a refresh may or may not clear up matters,
    Browser currency is a fundamental, and probably intractable, problem in computer science. Many OS'es don't even attempt to keep track of multiple local and remote browsers that presently have a dir open, much less asynchronously force-refresh them when the dir contents change. Windows tries to, with an assortment of performance, nuisance and failure modes.
    I blame Bill Gates.

  • HUNDREDS of .LCK files

    Hundreds of .LCK files are appearing on our server - most of
    them with Hidden file attribute set. The CPS log shows all these
    entries, typically by a single user, at a very specific date and
    time - seems to be when the user is trying to publish a file.
    Anyone know what is causing this? I can search/delete them in the
    file system, but I want to know the cause.
    Also, other symptoms we are experiencing are "Access Denied"
    and "Contact System Admin" when other users try to publish. Also, a
    ".new" is appended to the filename when this error occurs. Only way
    to fix this is to rename the file in the file system.
    I have a mixture of Contribute 3.11, Contribute 4.0 and
    Dreamweaver 8 users. I have CPS version 1.1.
    Any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated!!!!

    I'm not sure I have an answer for you on this, but I assume
    you know that the LCK files are how Contribute locks the actual
    files on the server to prevent 2 folks from editing the same page
    simultaneously. That being said, the LCK system kicks into gear
    when, at least for us, the administrator (who is in DW MX) has
    enabled the "Check In-Check Out" functionality for the site. The
    administrator gets messages in Contribute when a page is "locked"
    by a page author (meaning they are currently editing the page, have
    clicked "Save For Later", have clicked "Send for Review" or have
    exited Contribute without "disposing" of their draft in one of the
    above methods). Make sure folks are either publishing their drafts
    or "disposing" of them in one of these ways so that the locking is
    not occuring accidentally.
    Aside from that, the LCK's are normal and go away when a page
    is published. It's possible that you may have enabled the approval
    system "Send for Review" and this is starting to tie things up (you
    should probably have a lot of concurrent emails being sent as well
    in this case).
    As to the other errors you're getting, sometimes we get those
    too, and yet we are able to just close the error box and things go
    as intended. Other times not, and I think the whole thing is
    related to how much traffic the CPS server is handling...we tend to
    get more errors when things are really busy.
    Again, not sure if this was helpful, but maybe just some
    things to consider!
