Lock Node Properties
Name
The name of the node.
Lock Name
The name of the lock, which must match between the lock and unlock operations.
Lock Scope
Specify the scope of the lock. The scope defines whether the lock synchronizes all flows globally or only instances of this specific flow.
Lock scope can be:
- Local – Applies to all instances of the current flow.
- Global – Applies to all instances across all flows. Different flows executed in a distributed environment can be synchronized using the global scope.
Timeout (seconds)
Specifies the maximum wait time to acquire the lock before the node fails. The timeout should be set to a value that exceeds the maximum expected time to acquire the lock. If multiple instances are executed at the same time, the maximum number of instances should be considered to calculate the timeout.
