Working with Locks

You can use either of two methods for opening an OLAP model or metaoutline in Integration Services Console: standard access mode (the default mode) and exclusive access mode. The locks that are established by these different modes are specific to Integration Services and are completely separate from the locking performed by the data source database.

Tip:

If you plan only to view an OLAP model or metaoutline, use standard access mode. If you plan to edit an OLAP model or metaoutline, use exclusive access mode.
