Select the supply and demand elements that were locked by the Load Planning Instance process.

PeopleSoft Supply Planning locks the planning instance data tables at the beginning of the Load Planning Instance process to prevent two processes from updating the same subset of the planning instance concurrently. It releases the locks only if the process terminates normally. If the process terminates, when the reason for the error is corrected, you can run the failed job in restart mode. When the job finishes successfully, the system releases the locks. If you do not restart the failed job, you must release these locks manually on the Planning Instance Lock page, where you can also verify that a Load Planning Instance process is not currently running for a planning instance.

Use the Reset Planning Instance Locks page (PL_PROBINST_LOCKS) to select the supply and demand elements that were locked by the Load Planning Instance process.

Note: You should not need to change the status of these locks unless an external event occurred that caused an unforeseen failure to the Load Planning Instance process (PL_LOAD_OPT).

Field or Control

Description

Status

Displays the status of the Load Planning Instance process for the corresponding planning instance ID or the last major data exchange that occurred for the planning instance.

Lock Status

The system populates these options to indicate that the corresponding object type is currently being transferred to the planning instance. Normally, the system populates one at a time, unless you are running the Multiprocess Opt Table Load process to load data into the planning instance. If the Load Planning Instance process finishes successfully, no options are selected.
