User Locks and Cube Status

Gurus,

Like most of you I am facing the user lock issue with IP.

Is there an elegant way of getting ride of the user locks on an IP cube to run a global planning sequence ?

I know that we could set up a program to kick them out or use a parameter (gw/cpic_timeout or another one ?).

But, I was wondering if the change of status for transactional cubes was doing the same thing ?

Thanks
