Short lock. This is the standard lock normally set by the TIBCO iProcess Workspace. A short lock is removed when a USER keeps or releases a work item. In the event that short locks are left behind because, for example, the iProcess Workspace crashed, the only way to remove the short lock is to re-start the iProcess Engine or use the following command.

Long lock. A lock that is persistent and can only be removed using sal_llock_frm_init() by the user holding the lock. Long locks are not normally USED by TIBCO iProcess Workspace, but may be set by SAL SDK PROGRAMS or the TIBCO iProcess Objects Client. Re-starting the iProcess Engine has no effect on long locks, so a work item locked in this way remains inaccessible to every iProcess user until it is MANUALLY unlocked.
