Release the configuration lock

When you click Lock & Edit in the Change Center, you obtain a lock on the configuration edit hierarchy, which prevents other people from making changes until you release the configuration lock. You can release the configuration lock in the following ways:

Before you make any changes, you can click Release Configuration in the Change Center to release the lock explicitly.
After you save any changes, you release the lock implicitly when you click Activate Changes or Undo All Changes in the Change Center.
Stopping the Administration Server does not release the configuration lock. When the Administration Server starts again, the configuration lock is in the same state it was in when the Administration Server was shut down, and any pending changes are preserved.
