Locking a run protects a run in the same manner as published runs, except run results are not published to crewmembers. A locked run cannot be deleted or invalidated.
To lock a run:
- Switch to the Run Manager tab.
- Switch to the Completed tab, if it is not currently displayed.
- Select the completed run that you want to lock. Only valid runs can be locked.
- Click the Set State button. A menu opens with three options: <Clear>, Locked, and Published.
- Select the Locked list item. The N-PBS Scheduler asks you to confirm that you want to lock the selected run.
- Click the OK button. The N-PBS Scheduler locks the run and Locked is displayed in the State column.
