Unlocking a library

A library can become locked when a long running task, such as restoring all content items in a library, fails to unlock the library. In the rare event where a library becomes locked, you can use the unlock library tool to unlock the library.

Note: This tool only unlocks a Web content library, not the items stored in the Web content library.
  1. Log in to the portal as an administrator.
  2. To unlock a library, enter the following URL in the browser:
    http://hostname.yourco.com:port_number/wps/wcm/connect
    ?MOD=UnlockLibrary&library=libraryname
