When users are running the MASTER_EXECUTION_PLAN which calls the LEVEL7_LOAD_PROTOCOL_UTIL is experiencing locking behavior.

Procedure analyze_data is:
begin
dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(v_schema_name, 'VPD_PATIENT_DATA',
method_opt=> 'for all columns size auto for columns acs_wid size 1',
block_sample=>true, estimate_percent=>5, cascade=>true);
dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(v_schema_name, 'VPD_SUBJECT_DATA',
method_opt=> 'for all columns size auto for columns acs_wid size 1',
block_sample=>true, estimate_percent=>5, cascade=>true);
end analyze_data;
