You cannot update application administration if the application is locked or in use.

  • The Global Administrator can lock access to application administration. In this case, the following short ISPF message is displayed when you select an Application Administration Option: APPLICATION LOCKED and the following long ISPF message is displayed when you select an Application Administration Option:

    CMN5175I - Application parameters globally locked for update.

    The Global Administrator must unlock the application before you can update the application definition. See Locking or Unlocking Application Definitions.

  • Another administrator is currently updating the application definition. In this case, the following long ISPF message is displayed when you select an Application Administration Option:

    CMN5176I - Application parameters currently being updated by USER238.

    When the other administrator finishes the update, the application definition becomes available for update.

    If message CMN5176I is displayed when no other administrator is updating the application, the Global Administrator must reset the "in use" indicator. See Locking or Unlocking Application Definitions.
