Manually unlock job post 4.2

Anonymous — Tue, 10 Sep 2013 18:30:58 GMT

Hi Talend guru's,
in versions of Talend prior to 4.2, you could unlock a job "manually" by editing the jobs .properties file. When i attempted to do the same in 4.2 I found the .properties XML has changed, removing the "locked" attribute.
Is there any way to "manually" (i.e. without the TAC) unlock a job in the newer versions of Talend? or do I just need to suffer through using the TAC which can become very slow or downright crash tomcat when using a very large number of projects/locks?
many thanks,
Garrett

Unfortunately, the locks now exist only in TAC memory so TAC is the only way to edit them. I've been complaining since then that the fact that they are not persisted is a regression but to no avail . See Locks managed by web-app instead of by commits / Part 2.

ah, I figured something like that must be going on... but I think you gave me an answer, just not the one I wanted.
so to manually unlock (everything (!!!) ), bounce tomcat.
thanks Alevy!
