Programming with Optimistic Locks - when is it available

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have come across new lock mode 'O' for optimistic locks apart from existing lock modes like 'E', 'S', 'X'.

check this url http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8e/c7430d53fd2548be18a291c27bd72e/content.htm

This option looks very attractive to me for certain business scenarios.

<b>Do you know anything about the avialbility of this feature and the starting support package.</b>

thanks

Hi V,

Check OSS note 626804 - Support Package: Optimistic locking in 620

Hi Venu,

My understanding is that SAP NetWeaver 04 = WAS 6.4 = Available Now.

I am not sure about availability in hot packages (did you look on OSS?), but if you are running a MySAP ERP 2004 then this functionality should be available.

In fact, the following link is from the MySAP ERP 2004 help, which includes reference to optimistic locking.

My guess is that you would need to upgrade to WAS 6.4 to get this, but perhaps you can find a reference to its inclusion in support packs on OSS.

Cheers,
