<h1 class="topictitle1">Open considerations for files shared in a job or activation group</h1>
|
|
<div><p>Listed here are the considerations for opening a database file
|
|
that is shared in the same job or activation group.</p>
|
|
<div class="p"><ul><li>Make sure that when the shared file is opened for the first time in a
|
|
job or activation group, all the open options needed for subsequent opens
|
|
of the file are specified. If the open options specified for subsequent opens
|
|
of a shared file do not match those specified for the first open of a shared
|
|
file, an error message is sent to the program. (You can correct this by making
|
|
changes to your program or to the Open Database File (OPNDBF) or Open Query
|
|
File (OPNQRYF) command parameters, to remove any incompatible options.) <p>For
|
|
example, PGMA is the first program to open FILE1 in the job or activation
|
|
group and PGMA only needs to read the file. However, PGMA calls PGMB, which
|
|
will delete records from the same shared file. Because PGMB will delete records
|
|
from the shared file, PGMA will have to open the file as if it, PGMA, is also
|
|
going to delete records. You can accomplish this by using the correct specifications
|
|
in the high-level language. (To accomplish this in some high-level languages,
|
|
you might have to use file operation statements that are never run. See your
|
|
high-level language topic collection for more details.) You can also specify
|
|
the file processing option on the OPTION parameter on the OPNDBF and OPNQRYF
|
|
commands.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Sometimes sharing a file within a job or activation group is not desirable.
|
|
For example, one program needs records from a file in arrival sequence and
|
|
another program needs records in keyed sequence. In this situation, you should
|
|
not share the open data path (ODP). Specify SHARE(*NO) on the Override with
|
|
Database File (OVRDBF) command to ensure that the file is not shared within
|
|
the job or activation group.</li>
|
|
<li>If debug mode is entered with UPDPROD(*NO) after the first open of a shared
|
|
file in a production library, subsequent shared opens of the file share the
|
|
original ODP and allow the file to be changed. To prevent this,
|
|
specify SHARE(*NO) on the OVRDBF command before opening files being debugged.</li>
|
|
<li>The use of commitment control for the first open of a shared file requires
|
|
that all subsequent shared opens also use commitment control.</li>
|
|
<li>Key feedback, insert key feedback, or duplicate key feedback must be specified
|
|
on the full open if any of these feedback types are desired on the subsequent
|
|
shared opens of the file.</li>
|
|
<li>If you did not specify a library name in the program or on the OVRDBF
|
|
command (*LIBL is used), the system assumes that the library list has not
|
|
changed since the last open of the same shared file with *LIBL specified.
|
|
If the library list has changed, you should specify the library name on the
|
|
OVRDBF command to ensure that the correct file is opened.</li>
|
|
<li>The record length that is specified on the full open is the record length
|
|
that is used on subsequent shared opens even if a larger record length value
|
|
is specified on the shared opens of the file.</li>
|
|
<li>Overrides and program specifications specified on the first open of the
|
|
shared file are processed. Overrides and program specifications specified
|
|
on subsequent opens, other than those that change the file name or the value
|
|
specified on the SHARE or LVLCHK parameter of the OVRDBF command, are ignored.</li>
|
|
<li>Overrides specified for a first open using the OPNQRYF command can be
|
|
used to change the names of the files, libraries, and members that should
|
|
be processed by the OPNQRYF command. Any parameter values specified on the
|
|
OVRDBF command other than TOFILE, MBR, LVLCHK, and SEQONLY are ignored by
|
|
the OPNQRYF command.</li>
|
|
<li>The OPNDBF and OPNQRYF commands scope the ODP to the level specified on
|
|
the Open Scope (OPNSCOPE) parameter according to the following rules: <ul><li>The system searches for shared opens in the activation group first, and
|
|
then in the job.</li>
|
|
<li>Shared opens that are scoped to an activation group might not be shared
|
|
between activation groups.</li>
|
|
<li>Shared opens that are scoped to the job can be shared throughout the job,
|
|
by any number of activation groups at a time.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="p">The CPF4123 diagnostic message lists the mismatches that can be encountered
|
|
between the full open and the subsequent shared opens. These mismatches do
|
|
not cause the shared open to fail. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The OPNQRYF command never shares
|
|
an existing shared ODP in the job or activation group. If a shared ODP already
|
|
exists in the job or activation group with the same file, library, and member
|
|
name as the one specified on the OPNQRYF command, the system sends an error
|
|
message and the query file is not opened.</div>
