Hi,

Could anyone please explain how does the ‘lock’ property in process steps work. I understand we enable ‘lock’ in case of multiple threads. But does the second thread wanting to use the locked step error out, or will it wait until the lock is released.

Also could you also please suggest how to make the process serial. Senario is the ‘Receive’ step is in an standalone IS but rest of the process steps are in ISs which are part of different clusters.

Env: wM 8

Thanks,
Pramod
