General parameters > Chapter Supervisor > Parameter UTILCK (Utilities) 

This parameter is used to define the manner in which certain complex operations (re-synchronizations, financial year end) lock the operation of Sage X3. It can take one of three values:

  • mono user: in this case, the launch of the utility can only happen if no other person is connected to the folder. Once the utility is launched, no more connections are possible until the moment the execution is terminated.
  • mono-module: in this case the locking prohibits any launch of a function belonging to the same functional module. For instance, for the accounting, this implies the locking of all other accounting operations, but also the locking of the invoice validations, depreciation charges, stock accounting interface (all these elements update the accounting and for this reason are locked).
  • no locking: in this case, it is assumed that the user allows themselves all the functions but also makes sure themselves that there will be no conflict.
    This option must not be used in a live folder since it can lead to coherence problems. It can however be used in a folder under development, on the condition that the user accepts the possible consequences in case of conflict.

Level of localization / Global variable

This parameter is defined at the level Folder.It belongs to Chapter SUP (Supervisor) and the Group AUZ (Authorizations),The following parameters are also associated with this chapter and group :

The global variable GLCKOPT is associated with it.

Functions concerned

As of today, these are essentially the accounting functions such as the financial year end and certain re-synchronizations (balance, analytical balance, commitments, postings, matching) which use this flag to define the locking that should be applied.
