How to deallocate a locked project ?

Description:

Solution:
A message will indicate that the current 'project' data area is allocated and
which 'user' it is allocated by.

The most common reasons that 'Project' data area could be locked are :

1.) Another user is accessing the same project.
2.) The last time a user was accessing the project it was not closed out 
    cleanly.

In this case the 'project' data area needs to be cleared.

If the project is allocated by the current user :

1.)Dismiss the message and close the Session Manager.
2.)From the IESX Application window,Select type 'By project' and select the
   project from the list.
3.)Click on 'Deallocate data area',in the top left hand corner,before
   re-starting IESX.

If the project is allocated by a different user,file permissions will not
permit the above option :

1.)Check that the user is not currently accessing the project.
   If another user is currently accessing the project and the project is
   'cleared' and accessed by a second user,irrepairable damage will be caused
   to the project.
2.)Dismiss the message and close the Session Manager.

Either request that the user who has the project allocated,deallocates the
data area for you,hence making sure that the project is not currently 
being used :

1.)From the IESX Application window,Select type 'By project' and select the
   project from the list.
2.)Click on 'Deallocate data area',in the top left hand corner.

Or,after having checked that project is definatly not currently being accessed
it can be 'force' cleared in an IESX Xterm.Use this option with care.

1.)Start an IESX Xterm from Geonet
2.)At the prompt,type > $CL -f 'project_name'
