Description
This is an informational message in Tibco Nimbus normally we get this when we try to access the map because another user is editing it and Maps get in locked mode. In the details tab, we can see which user is currently working on it.
But sometimes when there is an issue with the locks file user gets this message and they are not able to access this map in both read/only and read/write mode. And in the details tab, they can see the same user currently logged in in the Nimbus. Users can not able to click on retry and are not able to edit diagrams even having read/write access.
