Many Wandora tools don't support parallel execution. You can't execute the tool while another instance of the tool is running. Tool is locked while execution begins. Unfortunately there may be situations when tool ends exceptionally and the lock is never released. Wandora may end up refucing to execute the tool again as it thinks there is another instance running. To clear all tool locks you can select '''Tools > Clear tools locks'''.

	You should also beware. Wandora does not kill the thread that is running the tool. Wandora just allows you to rerun the tool. This means that releasing the lock does not automatically guarantee the tool can be safely executed again. This also opens up a chance to misuse the '''Clear tool locks''' feature by consciously executing the tool again while it is already running. Such misuse causes very likely Java exceptions or even worse, errors to your topic map.		You should also beware. Wandora does not kill the thread that is running the tool.
