Hi Alan,
 first, you should be careful not to have another active irstats2 process then connect to the mysql database to see if the lock exists:
  select value from irstats2_internal where objectid='access.lock';

If lock exists you may try to delete the row:
  delete from irstats2_internal where objectid='access.lock';

Hi all,

I’m trying to update the stats on our new servers but every time I run the job I get the message

 

Dataset 'access' is currently locked by another process.

 

Any clues what might be locking it – I’m rather confused now.

 

Alan
