Trying to run a backup. The only module that is open is Ledger. When we try to do a complete backup it comes back with unable to lock data set exclusively so we tried to do back up of ledger only and get the same. What is causing this. No other workstation is even on.

Hi Sammy,

If you close Ledger and re-open it, does the message still persist?

Some file that stores which user is performing which task has not been cleared correctly for some reason. If it was the user in Ledger and re-opening the data solves the problem, then that is simple.

If not, then likely another user in the company data today had an underlying problem that didn't clear the above file correctly. The solution will involve everyone exiting Adagio and renaming the ezsemtab.dat file in the your data directory.

Here is a similar report of your question here.

Thanks. I think we have a bigger computer problem as it would not let us shut down Adagio either. We did a force close and this morning it allowed the back up. Thanks.
