A record data entry is identified by an entry-identifier, ENTRYID, which is returned to you when you allocate the entry with an IXLLOCK request to OBTAIN or ALTER ownership of a resource.

In a failure situation, the users of the lock structure can use the IXLRT service to access the record data entries for the failed user and thus coordinate the recovery processing. See Using the Lock Cleanup and Recovery Service (IXLRT).
