Guidelines for Locking Java and C/C++ Services
When you lock Java and C/C++ services, there are special considerations to keep in mind.
Locking and unlocking actions on Java and C/C++ services are folder-wide. All Java and C/C++ services in a folder share the same .java and .class files on the
Integration Server. These files, located in the
\code subdirectory of a package, correspond to all services (except flow services) in a folder. Therefore, when you lock a Java/C service, all Java/C services in that folder are locked.
For example, if you lock a Java service in a folder A, all Java and C/C++ services in folder A are locked by you. Similarly, if another user has locked a Java service in folder B, you cannot add, edit, move, or delete any Java or C/C++ services in folder B.
Locking actions on Java and C/C++ services are ACL dependent. If you want to lock one or more Java or C/C++ services within a folder, you must have Write access to all Java and C/C++ services in that folder. This is because Java and C/C++ services within a folder share the same .java and .class files.
The jcode development environment operates independently of locking. If you use jcode to develop Java services, you do not have the locking functionality that is available in the
Integration Server. When you use jcode, you may compile a service that is locked by another user, overwriting that user’s changes to the service. Therefore, if you use jcode, do not use the locking features in the
Integration Server.
Before you save a Java or C/C++ service, multiple corresponding files must be writable on the server.A single Java or C/C++ service corresponds to the following files:
.java
.class
.ndf
.frag (may not be present)
Before you save a Java or C/C++ service, all of the preceding files must be writable. Therefore, make sure that all system locks are removed from those files before saving.
