Summary

Before you perform routine maintenance tasks such as reindexing or backing up your data, you need to run the Lock System command to gain exclusive access and prevent data corruption. You can apply the following types of lock:

• Session Lock
• Permanent Lock

After you complete your maintenance tasks, you must unlock PayGlobal to allow other users access.

Important: an eject lock created in Tables/User Status can not be removed from the Unlock System menu. This is controlled from the right click menu in Table/User Status.
