Quote:First of all, is this the file that allows you to unlock an application ?
Yes, It is one of the ways to unlock an application.
Quote:According to the manual it is and should this be placed in the Programs folder where the Sesame application is stored for it to work ?
It does not need to be placed anyplace in particular to work. It is run from a command line and the path along with the name of an application is passed in as the argument.
An example of the syntax would be
sunlock c:\sesame\data\samples\gems.db
It does the same thing that Sesame does when you open Server Administration and go to the Unlock Application Tab.
Quote:My past forums on unlocking a database revealed that I was having trouble unlocking my files and having to shut the Sesame server down.
Did Sesame Server show the files as open when you were trying to unlock them? If Sesame Server has the files loaded, then Sesame Server locked them (So that no one else, besides a client, could open them, as the server is using them) and unlocking them can allow another Sesame Process (Not a Client) to open them.
If two sesame processes (Two separate processes, not two clients connected to the same server) have the same application open, it will not be long before the application is corrupt, sometimes beyond repair.
If you want I can try to think of a way to better describe Sesame's locking.
