Where do you need to manually intervene to release a lock after a crash or power cut?

When dealing with locks that may be in place due to a crash or power cut, the appropriate area for manual intervention is the System Manager. This is the component within Blue Prism that oversees the overall system settings and configurations, including resource management.

When a process or an object encounters an unexpected termination, it can lead to a locked state where resources like sessions may remain locked and unavailable for new instances. The System Manager provides the necessary tools for monitoring and managing these resources. By accessing the System Manager, an administrator can view the status of locks and actively release them as needed, ensuring that processes can be resumed after a fault or interruption.

In contrast, Application Control focuses on handling and managing the interaction of Blue Prism with external applications, while Process Studio is primarily for designing and developing processes. Task Scheduler is used for scheduling the execution of processes and does not provide functionalities to manage resource locks.
