Locking Mode Directives--Active Enforcement

The default lock mode is D. Locking modes direct active enforcement during updates to the data dictionary using the System Generation Compiler, Schema Compiler, Subschema Compiler, or the Data Dictionary Definition Language Compiler. Specific lock modes and their functions are described below.

• D — DEADLOCK. This directive enables full enforcement diagnostics which includes presentation of the Active Enforcement screen. This mode causes deadlocks when concurrent updates of the same entity type are requested in the same dictionary. Multiple transaction processing causes a currency failure when the enforcer attempts to commit the first transaction and process the next.
• B — BATCH MODE. This directive disables presentation of the Active Enforcement screen. Only CA IDMS Enforcer messages are displayed. This mode minimizes the possibility of deadlocks.
• I — IDDM ONLY. This directive enables full enforcement diagnostics when the Menu Facility is in use. Single transaction processing eliminates currency problems.

CA IDMS Enforcer message detailing naming compliance failures is presented in online compiler diagnostics and in printed batch output regardless of lock mode. For more information, see Active Enforcement.
