QUESTION:
Can you explain the following option listed in the System Setup->Access Governance Suite Configuration page:
"Minutes before object locks are released"
ANSWER:
This is the default number of minutes a persistent lock will be held. Persistent locks pertain to both Identity and Certification (>= 5.2) objects.
If this field is blank, the default is 5 minutes. If a zero is entered or any number greater than 120 minutes, the entry will be ignored and set to a max of 120 minutes.
Normally one should not need to set this option, as locks should be obtained when needed and released once Identity or Certifiation object locking is no longer necessary (i.e. edit and database commit of said object is completed).
