<h1 class="topictitle1">Share database files in the same job or activation group</h1>
|

|
|
<div><p>By default, the database management system lets one file be read
|
||
|
|
and changed by many users at the same time. However, you can share the database
|
||
|
|
files in the same job or activation group through the SHARE parameter.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">You can share a file in the same job or activation group by opening the
|
||
|
|
database file: <ul><li>More than once in the same program.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>In different programs in the same job or activation group.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> For more information about open sharing in the Integrated
|
||
|
|
Language Environment<sup>®</sup>, see the <a href="../books/sc415606.pdf" target="_blank">ILE Concepts</a><img src="wbpdf.gif" alt="Link to PDF" /> book.</div>

|
<p>The SHARE parameter on the create file, change file, and override database
|
||
|
|
file commands allow sharing in a job or activation group, including sharing
|
||
|
|
the file, its status, its positions, and its storage area. Sharing files in
|
||
|
|
the job or activation group can improve performance by reducing the amount
|
||
|
|
of main storage needed and by reducing the time needed to open and close the
|
||
|
|
file.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Using the SHARE(*YES) parameter lets two or more programs running in the
|
||
|
|
same job or activation group share an open data path (ODP). An open data path
|
||
|
|
is the path through which all input/output operations for the file are performed.
|
||
|
|
In a sense, it connects the program to a file. If you do not specify the SHARE(*YES)
|
||
|
|
parameter, a new open data path is created every time a file is opened. If
|
||
|
|
an active file is opened more than once in the same job or activation group,
|
||
|
|
you can use the active ODP for the file with the current open of the file.
|
||
|
|
You do not have to create a new open data path.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This reduces the amount of time required to open the file after the first
|
||
|
|
open, and the amount of main storage required by the job or activation group.
|
||
|
|
SHARE(*YES) must be specified for the first open and other opens of the same
|
||
|
|
file for the ODP to be shared. A well-designed (for performance) application
|
||
|
|
normally shares an ODP with files that are opened in multiple programs in
|
||
|
|
the same job or activation group.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">Specifying SHARE(*NO) tells the system not to share the ODP for a file.
|
||
|
|
Normally, this is specified only for those files that are seldom used or require
|
||
|
|
unique processing in specific programs. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> A high-level language program
|
||
|
|
processes an open or a close operation as if the file were not being shared.
|
||
|
|
You do not specify that the file is being shared in the high-level language
|
||
|
|
program. You indicate that the file is being shared in the same job or activation
|
||
|
|
group through the SHARE parameter. The SHARE parameter is specified only on
|
||
|
|
the create, change, and override database file commands.</div>
