Break another administrator's lock on users.xml in CCMS Web

If an administrator needs to change a setting in the users.xml file but another administrator has already locked the file, it is possible to break that lock in order to edit the file.

About this task

When there is more than one administrator for IXIA CCMS, it is possible for one administrator to check out the users.xml file and keep it locked. When that happens, another administrator will see the following message within User Management: "users.xml is locked by [email] since [date]."

Note: Breaking the other administrator's lock on users.xml will erase any unsaved changes they have made to the file.

  2. Place a checkmark in the I understand field.
  3. Click Break Lock.
    A "Lock has been broken" message appears.
