The Question is:
From node a1 we would like to see the files open on a disk on node a2.
If d2: is a disk on node a2 then as a user, logged on to a1 files cannot be
seen using
"show dev d2:/file"
whereas this works on a1 on a disk that is in a1.
How is this possible as we need to check whether some files are open on a
different node before we run a program on the other node?
The Answer is :
See topic (159) for one potential solution: use DCL and DECnet
to go over and look at the file access activity on the other
node.
If you have control of the application source code, you will
want to consider several potential approaches toward enhancements
here, ranging from the OpenVMS FAQ discussion of enabling the
appropriate file access sharing on the target file(s) to the
discussions here around enhancing the code to use an
application-specific lock resource to coordinate distributed
access to the application; to prevent or synchronize access to
the target data.
A related discussion is the distributed lock manager primer,
in topic (7382). Also see the programming-related discussions
in topics (6984) and (1661).
