Release locks with the Release Locks tool

Available with Location Referencing license.

The Release Locks tool can release any lock whose releasable state value is Yes.

Tip:

You can also release locks through the LRS Locks table.

The following table describes the releasable status values:

Releasable statusReason

Yes

The lock is owned by the user who is signed in (in any version), and the route or event has not been edited.

On Post

The lock is owned by the user who is signed in (in any version), and the route or event has been edited.

No

The lock is owned by another user.

Impact of the user and version on releasable status

The releasable status reported in the LRS Locks table is dependent on the user signed in and database version being edited.

The following is an example of the LRS Locks table with user22 signed in using Version2.

LRS Locks table with user22
The LRS Locks table is shown with user22 signed in using Version2.

1

The locks were acquired by user22 using Version2, and their edits were saved, resulting in a releasable status value of On Post.

2

The locks were acquired by user22 using Version2, and they didn't save any edits, resulting in a releasable status value of Yes.

3

The locks were acquired by user11 using Version1, and the signed-in user (user22) didn't acquire the lock, resulting in a releasable status value of No.

The following is an example of the LRS Locks table with user11 signed in using Version1:

Release locks

Complete the following steps to release locks with the Release Locks tool:

  1. Start ArcGIS Pro and open a project with an LRS Network from a conflict prevention-enabled LRS.
  2. Select one or more routes using a feature selection tool.
  3. Click Release Locks Release all on the Location Referencing tab.
    Tip:

    This tool is enabled when the following occurs:

    • Conflict prevention is enabled.
    • At least one route is selected.

    Note:

    If the route selection contains a mix of routes whose releasable state values are Yes, No, or On Post, or if the selected route has no locks, clicking Release Locks will release only those routes whose releasable status values are Yes.
