Lock Serial
Explanation
This activity is used to lock a serial and its belonging structure. When
a serial is locked, you cannot perform any changes to the serial in the system,
except for the completion of running maintenance events. You can view information
on locked serials. Following is a list of operations that cannot be performed
on a serial that is locked:
- Changes of serial data (includes vehicle data if the serial is a vehicle)
- Changes in the serial structure (complete structure is locked)
- Changes for serial transportation routes
- Operational logging for a structure containing locked serials
- Registration of faults (both serial and vehicle)
- Condition measures
- Due calculation for interval maintenance
- Assigning to modifications
- Definitions of start values
- Planning of operational events
- Distribution of pending events
To perform this activity, click Serial from the
Manage Serial Structure page and select the option
Lock.
Prerequisites
- The serial must be a top serial (i.e., not have a connected parent).
If the serial is connected to a parent, the serial has to be removed from
the parents structure before you can lock the serial.
- The serial must have an operational status of either In Operation
or Out Of Operation.
System Effects
- All serials in the entire structure are locked. Depending on which
page
or tab is opened, the Locked or Locked for Update field will
be enabled.
- You cannot perform any changes to the serial record other than for completing
any running events.
- Serials that are locked will not be assigned to modifications. The serials
that are not locked will be assigned to modifications.
