Two dictionaries sharing one file

Author	Message
Mario van Dy #1 / 6	Two dictionaries sharing one file Could one expect any problems having two dictionaries sharing on file. What if two programs running at the same time with two dictionaries sharing one file say on a network? Anyone having experiance on this. Mario. . .

Earl R Coke #2 / 6	Two dictionaries sharing one file Hi Mario, Should work just fine as long as the file definition in both dct's are the same. But why not combine the 2 dct's into one big dct and then you would only have to maintain the common file(s) in one dct??? -- ---- (;-)} Regards, Earl R Coker www.kwiksystems.com Quote: > Could one expect any problems having two dictionaries sharing on file. > What if two programs running at the same time with two dictionaries > sharing one file say on a network? > Anyone having experiance on this. > Mario. . .

Terry Davidso #3 / 6	Two dictionaries sharing one file Remeber that the DCT is only used to compile the application so that once you are running the exe the dictionary is not used Quote: > Could one expect any problems having two dictionaries sharing on file. > What if two programs running at the same time with two dictionaries > sharing one file say on a network? > Anyone having experiance on this. > Mario. . .

Should work fine but like Earl said you might want to take a look at combining the dct unless they are already very big (hundreds of tables in each) The trick is to make sure that the programs using the dictionaries are synchronized for that one file. I.e. if there are two exe using this file, if you make a change in one dct and compile, then you need to make the same change in the other dct and compile that program or you are going to have error 47 (invalid record declaration) come up all over the place. This is also valid if you use FM2 as it will convert to the newest version, but if the other program is still using the old one, FM2 will most likely have problems with it as it has already converted it in the first program.

Dra?e #6 / 6	Two dictionaries sharing one file I have expirience with n (larger than 10) dct containing same file, and app-s working at the same time on the network. Works just fine, but if one app locks the file (logout, special open, lock) others are going to wait with any read or write into file until it is unlocked.
