Suspending a Session

An application compiler session is automatically suspended in the event of a system crash. Additionally, the current work is saved whenever an update is made. Application definition sessions are entirely recoverable.

The developer can also suspend a session by selecting the Release option from the Modify window on the action bar. This allows any other developer to check the application out.

When a session is suspended, the application compiler saves the application definition, including all specifications made during the session, on queue records. A suspended session can be resumed at any time, as described in Invoking the Application Compiler.
