Gateway keeps Access lock

‎12-02-2015 03:38 AM

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?
