Note

  This feature will be removed in the next version of Microsoft SQL Server. Do not use this feature in new development work, and modify applications that currently use this feature as soon as possible.

The UnlockObject method of the Dimensioninterface releases a lock on a dimension object previously established by the LockObject method.

Applies To:clsDatabaseDimension

Syntax

object.UnlockObject

Remarks

  • object
    The Dimension object to unlock.

Remarks

Calling the UnlockObject method without first calling the LockObject method raises an error.

Example

The following example locks the Product dimension of the FoodMart 2000 database, completely reprocesses it, and then unlocks it so others make changes:

    Dim dsoServer As New DSO.Server
    Dim dsoDB As DSO.MDStore
    Dim dsoDim As DSO.Dimension
    
    ' Connect to local Analysis server.
    dsoServer.Connect "LocalHost"
    
    ' Open FoodMart 2000 database.
    Set dsoDB = dsoServer.MDStores("FoodMart 2000")

    ' Open the Product dimension.
    Set dsoDim = dsoDB.Dimensions("Product")
    
    ' Lock the dimension for processing.
    dsoDim.LockObject olapLockProcess, "Locked for processing."
    
    ' Completely reprocess the dimension.
    dsoDim.Process processFull
    
    ' Once complete, unlock the dimension.
    dsoDim.UnlockObject
    
    ' Clean up.
    Set dsoDim = Nothing
    Set dsoDB = Nothing
    dsoServer.CloseServer
    Set dsoServer = Nothing
