Multiple Calls to DBLOCK

Remote Databases

Locking remote database entities is the same as locking database entities with the

following exception. If the local system has a user-created process structure, and each

process is locking a remote database independently, the programs must have Multiple RIN

capability because they are in the same job/session. The only effect using MR capability

has on the local system is that the rule prohibiting multiple DBLOCK calls is not enforced.

However, to access remote databases, each local process must issue a separate REMOTE

HELLO to ensure that it has a corresponding process in the remote system.

The system does not force you to establish corresponding remote processes, but failure to

do so can result in the remote session being suspended permanently which requires a

remote system restart to recover.

CAUTION

Hewlett-Packard does not accept responsibility for system lockouts and

deadlocks when Multiple RIN capability is in use with TurboIMAGE/XL.

The following DBUTIL command can be useful in tracing deadlocks that occur when

CAP=MR is used.
