LOCK_OBJECT

LOCK_OBJECT locks the an object in the database.

Syntax

CC "Core" LOCK_OBJECT objid:idValue [ type:LockType ] .

LockType :	"write" | "shared" .

#-->RESULT ecode:intValue already_locked:boolValue .

Parameters

• objid (idValue) -
• type (strValue, optional) - provide either "write" or "shared"

Returns

• ecode (intValue) - Contains the error code or is 0 in case of success.
• already_locked (boolValue) -

Details

The ID of the object is specified with objid.
Two different types of locks can be set: type:"write", which is the default, means exclusive write access. Shared access (type:"shared") is used to implement concurrent editing of one model by multiple users. (This will soon be be documented extra.)
If the object is already locked the value of already_locked becomes 1, otherwise 0.
If you use this function make sure that you call the UNLOCK_OBJECT function with the same ID! The given ID can be anything - even a metamodel ID so be VERY careful!
