We enabled locking for many users, but we are getting the database error -LockFailure-Not supported in the production environment. In a lower environment, no errors are thrown. It would be more useful if someone could guide me.

Hi @AnanthalakkshmiS.

Can you please check the logs and tell the error here.

Meanwhile you can check the link below for some understanding.

> I know Pega handles object locking using Pega-level lock mechanism (PR\_SYS\_LOCK) but customer asks if database-level (row) lock is also applied? Or only Pega level lock is involved and there is no locking at database level?

Thanks and regards
