In Software AG Designer, you can manage changes to elements during development by locking them. This prevents two different users from editing an element at the same time. You can lock elements such as flow services, Java services, schemas, and specifications.

All elements in Designer’s Package Navigator view are read-only until you lock them. You can edit an element only if you own the lock on the element. However, you can use and run a service regardless of its lock status, as long as you have Execute access to the service.

Local locking on Integration Server is the default locking mode of Integration Server and Designer.
