Sharing Control Files

MODS control files can be shared between regions where multiple product regions exist (for example, a production and test region). You must ensure, however, that only one of these regions is capable of updating records stored on the shared control files. Data corruption can occur if this is not done.

Update capability is specified when defining the concatenation path in the MODSFILES parameter group for each product region.
