Don't know anything about CentOS.<br>
However, I have been dealing with filePro for many years, and always understood two people could not update the same record at the same time (using dclerk or rclerk).<br>
After reading your post, I tried it here on a Windows 7 based system, and was a little flabbergasted to find that the system allowed me to get into update mode on the same record from two different sessions.<br>
However, when I tried it on my Unix system, an attempt to update a record that was already being updated on another session gave me the message, "Record Is Being Updated - Access Denied".<br>
This difference between the Windows based system the the Unix based one is very surprising (and disturbing!).<br>

Subject: records not locking?<div><div class="h5"><br>
<br>
We've had this filepro sytem for years -- CentOS 5.10 and filePro 5.6.10R4<br>
<br>
We have an app written years ago that is basically a front end lookup to a<br>
main customer file<br>
It used to be if someone has a record pulled up from this main file, and<br>
someone else attempted to access it, you would see at the bottom something<br>
stating watiing for record to be unlocked or something like that, don't<br>
remember the exact verbiage<br>
<br>
Some of you might remember I recently had to replace the CentOS RAID and<br>
left the filePro RAID in tact when we had a root kit virus.....so I simply<br>
swapped the 2 OS drives and configured what I needed to user wise,<br>
etc.....by taking the /etc/passwd files, etc from the old OS and on to the<br>
new OS drives....<br>
Everything has worked out with no problems.....I only mention this because<br>
this is the only thing that's changed on this system...<br>
<br>
Yesterday, one of my operations people informed me that two people could<br>
have the same record pulled up at one time and update it 'at will'??<br>
Now the program used to access the main customer file is just a filePro<br>
file that does a lot of lookups to display the data from the main customer<br>
file - and I checked input processing and made sure all the lookups are<br>
'protected'<br>
<br>
Any idea what would cause them no longer seeing the 'waiting for record to<br>
be unlocked' message as before? Very strange.....this has never been the<br>
case in the 15 yrs we've had this program built, etc....<br>
<br>
Thanks for any insight....pretty confused on this<br>
