Mastering ArcGIS Enterprise Administration

Managing user connections

Managing user connections to the enterprise geodatabase is a task that goes alongside data and database management. There will always be times when administrators need access to a dataset for an update or the entire database for a compress or other routine procedure, only to find out that the dataset is locked by another user. Luckily, these tasks of finding and dealing with locks can be easily accomplished through either the user interface or ArcPy and Python.
