Sharing A Network Plan - 3Com WX1200 Reference Manual

Sharing a Network
Plan
To delete a network plan
1 In the main 3WXM window, select File > Delete Network Plan. The
Delete Network Plan wizard appears.
2 Select the network plan you want to delete from the list.
3 Click Next. The network plan is deleted.
4 Click Finish.
Since the 3WXM plan repository resides on a networked server (the host
running 3WXM Services), you can easily share access to network plans
among hosts running the 3WXM client.
When you make changes to a network plan, 3WXM locks the part of the
plan you are modifying. Other 3WXM clients can still open the network
plan, but the lock prevents the other clients from modifying the part of
the plan you are already modifying. The lock remains in effect until your
modification is saved. 3WXM then removes the lock.
When a user with an administrator or provision account tries to access a
part of a plan that is already locked by another user, 3WXM displays the
Lock Info page. The Lock Info page indicates who has locked the network
plan. You can optionally override the user's lock. Note that only a user
with Administrator privileges can override another user's lock.
To override another user's lock
1 Select Tools > 3WXM Services Lock Management. The 3WXM
Services Lock Management dialog box appears.
2 Select the lock you want to delete and click on Delete Lock. (Only an
Administrator can delete a lock.)
3 A message is displayed indicating that the user whose lock you selected
will not be able to save their changes when you delete their lock. Click
Yes to confirm that you want to do this.
If you override the lock, 3WXM unlocks the part of the plan that was
locked, and notifies the other 3WXM users about the lock change. From
this point on, the former lock holder cannot save changes to the
previously locked portion of the plan.
By default, 3WXM sends a message to all users who have the plan open
with monitor access to inform them when changes are saved to the plan.
In addition, 3WXM sends a message to each monitor user, so that one of
them can then edit the plan.
