Checking/ Releasing File Locks in Solaris

Hi,

One of my prod jobs using Ab Initio (which is Solaris Based) returned this error:

========= Error from Reformat_3.000 on f7j21-01.xxxx3.com ========= Failed opening file for flow: Resource temporarily unavailable
Flow = "Flow_11.000" connected to output port "out0" of "Reformat_3.000"
Path = file://f7j21-01.xxxx3.com/opt/myhome/data/mydata.lookup.dat
Nested error:
Failed to acquire lock for output file /opt/myhome/data/mydata.lookup.dat: Resource temporarily unavailable
Perhaps this file is already locked because it's in use by another job
or is used more than once in the current phase of this job.



Could anyone please help me with the ways to
1. Check a file lock in Solaris and
2. How to release a file lock


Thanks in advance.
