and their Solutions
78 SECURITY VIOLATION - PESSIMISTIC LOCKS
Security violations in budget forms are often pessimistic locks. Pessimistic locks are designed to prevent two people from
editing the exact same budget instance (i.e. decision package) at the same time. Only one user can make modifications at
one point in time. Once that user has saved the document, then the next user can make edits. Pessimistic locks occur on
specific budget instances (e.g. a particular restoration package for your department) or in ranking a particular appropriation.
If a pessimistic lock is on, you will receive the following message:
OR
“CGI-AMS Proprietary and Confidential”
“CGI-AMS Proprietary and Confidential”
If you receive a pessimistic lock or a security violation in budget forms during the time when forms are open to departments,
please call or email any of the following DOM staff immediately.
David Fardal 281-3539, Dennis Hart 281-8048, Hugh Ceaser 281-7076, Joel Lunde 281-7072, Jude Igbokwe 281-8826,
Kathy Mabie 281-8834, Lee Hill 281-0113, Lisa Oakley 281-8485, Nickie Whitaker 281-5417, Shashi Goel 281-8833
Solution: To resolve a pessimistic lock, you will need to provide the DOM staff person with the following information: 1)
Your name/userid, 2) if you were working on a Restoration, Capital, New, CY_DeptRev_Bud, Dept_Final_Adj, etc. form or if
you were ranking an appropriation and 3) the instance code.
Note: Correcting this error should take only a few minutes, and ANY DOM staff member can help you. You do not need to
wait for your personal DOM analyst to remove a pessimistic lock for you.
If you truly have a security violation, your problem may take a few more moments to resolve.

OPTIMISTIC LOCKS
Optimistic locks are designed to prevent you from making changes to a record at the same time another person is making
changes.
“CGI-AMS Proprietary and Confidential”
Optimistic locks are infrequent. An optimistic lock means that another person has modified the record you are working on
after you started to edit and before you saved. For department users, this may occur while you and another user are
editing a performance budgeting screen, such as a performance measure or performance plan.
Optimistic locks do Not occur on budget forms. Only one user may edit a budget instance at a time. Other users may only
View.
Solution: Exit the document you are trying to edit and return to the home page. You may have to log-out and login again.

be able to successfully complete your process the second time. If you repeat the same steps and again get a java error,
take the following steps:
1. Make notes of what steps you took to create the java error AND take a screen shot of the error. (To take a screen
shot: click on the Prnt Scrn button on your keyboard, click Control – C, then open a word document and click Control
–V)
2. Contact your DOM analyst, and work with them to recreate the error.
3. If you and your analyst are successful in recreating the error, then the error, after review from system administrators,
can be documented and sent to AMS for correction.
4. Note: It is very important to recreate errors and document steps in detail in order to report them to AMS. If software
developers are unable to replicate our error, then they will be unable to fix it.
