Remove Data Locks

Data locks apply to block storage cubes only.

Occasionally, you may need to release a lock that you created in the cube, generally from a Smart View Submit Data action. For example, if you’re calculating a cube that has active locks on data, and the calculation encounters a lock, then the calculation must wait. If you release the lock, the calculation can resume.

You can always unlock data that you locked. To remove another user’s data locks, you must have the Application Manager or Database Manager role.
