The wait time, in seconds.

Use Lock Timeout (-lkwtmo) to specify a different wait time (in seconds). A Progress process encountering a locked resource waits for a limited time before continuing execution. If the resource is still locked, the process times out and the wait is canceled. This feature is called “lock wait timeout.”

The default wait time is 1800 seconds (30 minutes). The minimum value is 60 seconds. If a user specifies a value less than 60 seconds, Progress silently sets the value at 60 seconds.

NOTE: The wait time is accurate to within one minute of the value specified.

Lock timeout applies to interactive and batch clients.

Lock timeout affects WAIT-FOR record locks, schema locks, and transaction commit locks. Lock timeout does not affect internal locks used inside the database manager, such as buffer locks.
