Description:
Do I need to stop ue_01 before running p_file_96 or p_manage_18?

And, in general, what jobs lock the library?

Resolution:
The $aleph_proc/lock_library procedure stops all the ue processes. (And the unlock_library proc restarts them.)

If a job does not execute lock_library, Development has been determined that the ue processes can be left running for this job.

You can look at the proc in $aleph_proc to see if it executes lock_library (and unlock_library).

p_file_96 does not execute lock_library.

p_manage_18 executes lock_library if the p_update_mode is "S" (single-user). If it is "M" (multi-user), it does not.
