creating locks between executions

[lvrat]

My sequence launches a new execution. If lock is required to be shared between the executing sequence and new execution (that the current sequence launches) should the lock name be created with asterisk (*) as the first character in the name?

Does new execution runs in different processes?

TIA.

No, new executions run in the same process. The '*' is only needed if you are running multiple applications that share locks, for example, multiple instances of the sequence editor or user-interfaces.

Hope this helps,
