The Lock Chains tab on the Client Application Analysis drilldown provides details about an application's lock relationships with other applications. It shows:
Which applications are holding locks that the selected application is waiting for.
Which applications are waiting for locks held by the selected application.
Whether locks are held by indoubt transactions.
You can use this information to determine which applications are in contention for resources.
Note: Before information can be shown in the Lock Chains tab, the lock monitor switch must be turned on.
All columns available for the Lock Chains tab are listed below in alphabetic order. Initially, the tab contains Spotlight's default column selection. You can choose which columns to display and organize them in any order from left to right using the Organize Columns function. This can be selected from the right-click menu for column headers.
