Resetting Audit Lock

If a change package has previously been locked while performing an audit, the Reset Audit Lock function can clear the lock. Resetting the audit lock allows users to make changes to package components while a long-running audit job is executing.

Note

Changes made during an audit run can cause out-of-sync conditions to occur. You should only use the Reset Audit Lock function during preliminary audits. The final audit job should lock out user changes when initiated, and users should not reset the lock.

Invoke the Reset Audit Lock function from the following menu of the Serena perspective:

In the Serena Explorer navigation view, expand the node for the ZMF server where the package of interest resides. Then expand the z/OS Applications node, the node for the particular application containing the package, and its Packages node. Right-click on the desired package to bring up its contextual menu, then select the Reset Audit Lock option.

If the Reset Audit Lock option is grayed out, either the package is not locked for audit or you are not authorized by ZMF to reset the lock.
