Distributed Record Locks

Record locks are maintained by the server that holds the table. There is a record lock table per section of table, one for the dictionary and one for each data level, to ensure low conflicts between threads. The D3 File Manager applet shows the outstanding locks and can clear them. There is no limit on the number of record locks that can exist on the network.

When a record lock is set, the FSI server uses the unique Client ID to identify the owner (see Client System, Client Thread, and Client-ID).
