Abstract
In an approach for managing read-modify-write operations within a network. Aspects of an embodiment of the present invention include an approach for managing read-modify-write operations within a network, wherein the approach includes a processor for determining that a lock associated with a component of a network is set. A processor identifies a key associated with the lock. A processor determines that the key associated with the lock has not been altered since a previous time cycle. A processor responsive to determining that the key associated with the lock has not been altered, determines that a lock timeout has expired for the key, wherein the lock timeout specifies, at least, a period of time. A processor responsive to determining that the lock timeout has expired for the key, releases the lock.
