Ü  Lock states for objects

 

A lock state identifies the use of the object and whether it is shared.

 

Ø  Exclusive (*EXCL). The object is reserved for the exclusive use of the requesting job; no other jobs can use the object. However, if the object is already allocated to another job, your job cannot get exclusive use of the object. This lock state is appropriate when a user does not want any other user to have access to the object until the function being performed is complete.

 

Ø  Exclusive allow read (*EXCLRD). The object is allocated to the job that requested it, but other jobs can read the object. This lock is appropriate when a user wants to prevent other users from performing any operation other than a read.

 

Ø  Shared for update (*SHRUPD). The object can be shared either for update or read with another job. That is, another user can request either a shared-for-read lock state or a shared-for-update lock state for the same object. This lock state is appropriate when a user intends to change an object but wants to allow other users to read or change the same object.

 

Ø  Shared no update (*SHRNUP). The object can be shared with another job if the job requests either a shared-no-update lock state, or a shared-for-read lock state. This lock state is appropriate when a user does not intend to change an object but wants to ensure that no other user changes the object.

 

Ø  Shared for read (*SHRRD). The object can be shared with another job if the user does not request exclusive use of the object. That is, another user can request an exclusive-allow-read, shared-for-update, shared-for-read, or shared-no-update lock state.
