Conditions for Releasing Job Locks set from Registration

A job lock created from registration is deactivated when either:

  • The job is closed
  • The job lock is released automatically by the system *
  • The user logs out
  • The user logs in or changes credentials to the same laboratory in which the job lock was created

* A job lock is released automatically by the system when the time denoted by the JOB_LOCK_RELEASE_INTERVAL_MINUTES application preference has elapsed, either since a submit or refresh was done in registration, or since the job registration was terminated but the screen not closed.

When a CCCLEANER batch job is run on the system batch queue (refer to Maintaining Schedules and Batch Job Executions), then job and job scheme locks with a populated LOCK_DATE time-stamp > 28 days are deleted from the CCLOCK table.
