Load Metamodel 

This option enables you to import a validated language package into the CAST Analysis Service for use with the CAST Universal Analyzer (see the CAST Universal Analyzer Framework Admin Guide for more information). 

A language package consists of the following items (for example, for PHP): 

• Directory name > PHP
• MetaModel name > PHPMetaModel.xml
• LanguagePattern name > PHPLanguagePattern.xml  

When imported into the Analysis Service, the language can be analyzed in the CAST Universal Analyzer

Remove Locks

This option enables you to remove any database locks created by CAST applications so that only one process can be carried out at any one time.

In general, the database locks created by CAST applications are removed after the accompanying process has successfully completed or when the application is closed. However, locks may sometimes remain in place following an application error or if the connection to the database server is lost. This option therefore enables you to clear these locks without having to restart the database server.

To access the option:

1. Select the database/schema for which you want to Remove Locks:
2. Click Database/Schema Installation > Troubleshooting > Remove Locks

Note:

• Before using this option, please make sure that you check that no database process is currently active and that no applications are currently connected to the database server. If you use this option while processes are active or applications are connected to the database server, then errors will occur in the processes, usually accompanied by the message "could not unlock...".
