Record Locking

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne does not implement any record-locking techniques. It relies on the native locking strategy of the vendor database management system.

In specific situations, the vendor database does not automatically lock as needed. In these situations, you can instruct JD Edwards EnterpriseOne to control record locking. For example, you can mandate record locking on the Next Numbers table to ensure the integrity of the Next Numbers feature.

You can lock JD Edwards EnterpriseOne records using one of the following methods:

• Optimistic locking

  Use optimistic locking (sometimes referred to as record change detection) to prevent a user from updating a record if it has changed between the time the user inquired on the record and the time user updates the record.

• Pessimistic locking

  Use pessimistic locking to prevent attempts to update the same record at the same time by different applications or users. The record is locked before it is updated.
