• Key Concepts: 
  Application Locking Service (ALS) is a component of the BC-JAS Java Application Server. It is a locking mechanism that ensures that only one user can access and modify a particular application at any given time. This prevents data corruption and ensures that all users have the most up-to-date version of the application. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use ALS, users must first log into the BC-JAS Java Application Server. Once logged in, they can access the application they wish to modify. ALS will then lock the application, preventing any other users from accessing or modifying it until the user has finished their work. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using ALS, it is important to remember to unlock the application once you are finished with it. This will allow other users to access and modify the application as needed. Additionally, it is important to remember that ALS only locks applications on the BC-JAS Java Application Server, so if you are using applications on other servers, you will need to use a different locking mechanism.
