## Symptoms

- * CPM process stuck in initializing state and does not start.
* According to *cpm.elg* , an exception was caught in the GuiClientsUtils init method -  
  07/04/19 15:40:08,175 ERROR internal.operation.OperationSvcImpl \[main\]: caught exception "Action cannot be executed on object: XXXXX due to: Object 'XXXXX' is locked by another session." from class

## Cause

When the server comes up, it recognizes that the file *$FWDIR/conf/gui-clients* exists. Consequently, it tries to delete old gui clients, and to convert the new ones into objects in the DB.

The deletion process fails because one of the old gui clients is locked by another session.
