Gateway keeps Access lock

When using the gateway to read data from an access database. The Data Management Gateway Service keeps the accdb file locked. The accdb is usable again after restarting the service.

 

I think this is a bug. Anyone has any ideas on this?

I have the same problem. The gateway keeps the a lock on database after refreshing. 
Since your post was a while ago, do you have a solution already?

I created a sheduled restart of the gateway service.
