Unlocking all objects in 1C is usually required when the error "To execute the command, you need to unlock all objects" appears. This error can occur in two cases: when loading a configuration file of a subordinate node of a distributed infobase and when loading a configuration file into an infobase in which configuration changes are prohibited. Let's consider both cases in more detail.
Error loading the configuration file of a slave node of a distributed infobase
The slave configuration is updated automatically when downloading data from the master. If we try to update the configuration manually, we get the error "All objects must be unlocked to execute the command." The configuration of a slave node may need to be updated when the error "All objects must be unlocked to execute the command." In this case, it is necessary to unload the configuration file from the master node, and then disconnect the slave base from the exchange. In the configurator of the subordinate base, load the previously obtained configuration file; in this case, in no case should you use the combination of bases. Then reconnect the slave node to the exchange and carry out the exchange of data.
An error occurred while loading a configuration file into an infobase where configuration changes are prohibited
In all typical 1C configurations, by default they are installed with support settings prohibiting any configuration changes. These settings guarantee the download of updates supplied by 1C. But, unfortunately, a typical configuration quite often cannot take into account all the nuances of a particular enterprise and requires some refinement. Changes made in the course of revision sometimes need to be transferred to other databases. In this case, the error "To execute the command, you need to unlock all objects." This error indicates that the current database settings prohibit making changes to the configuration, and in order to make these changes, all configuration objects must be unlocked. There are two ways to do this: unblock objects while maintaining support if you plan to download an update for typical configurations in the future, and remove support if updates are not downloaded in the future.
To unlock while maintaining support, open the configuration in the Configurator, then select Configuration - Support - Support settings. In the window that opens, click the "Enable change option" button and set the "Editable while maintaining support" mode on all configuration objects.
To remove a configuration from support, you need to follow the same steps, but in the support settings window, click the "Remove from support" button.
After completing these steps, it becomes possible to load a file with changes into the configuration without errors.
