I have a server id that has a perpetual pipeline running. Part of the pipeline uses the DISKUPDATE stage to update individual records in a fixed-length file.
What I'm finding is the file is not updated on disk while the pipeline is running, but when I stop the pipe (with an immcmd and gate stage), then the updates are made. I was expecting (hoping) the file changes would be reflected in near real-time so other ids can link to the disk and check it. Is there anything I can do to nudge DISKUPDATE? Maybe turn MDC off for that mdisk? A specific file mode number? (I'm using 6 for update in place... not certain about that, I assume it means that if another id has linked/accesed the disk, they don't have to reaccess to read the same file contents again.) Cheers, Don
