Issue/Introduction

WARNING "Locked Files" during product installation.

Environment

OS: AIX

Resolution

1). Stop all running Tibco processes.
 
2). If all Tibco processes are stopped and you still see this error, it is because of a known issue on some AIX systems. The JDK file lock checks will report files as locked which were previously, but no longer, in use. The recommended option is to reboot the AIX system which will clear all file locks. In case rebooting is not possible, run the Installer again with the following option. 

    -V disableLockChecks="true"​
