Hi,
All the code that I access during my alarm is in my segment 0, which I
assume I have access to during display alarm launch code and dont need to
lock them (Correct me if I'm wrong).
I read about DmProtectDatabase and it said one sould protect it in app start
and unprotect in app stop. Sould I protect and unprotect the DB in start and
end of all launch codes ?
Also, make sure you open your application database, & make sure to open it
in leaveopen mode.
I open my 'data' database when I need to write to it and close it soon after
that - once during every alarm. Do I need to open in leaveopen mode then ?
I still wonder wat Resco Backup/RLock does in special to Lock my app ?
Regards,
Sagar

Hi,
Basically, to be completely safe, you need to prtoect the database via
DmProtectDatabase and then lock each resource that your alarm callback
uses (including the code resource that block is in) using DmGetResource
and MemHandleLock.

Hi All,
My application runs in
background by means of
alarms, where I read from
network and show modal
forms and update database.
The application exhibits
random crashes.
But when I use Resco backup
to lock my application and if I
use Reset Doctor
to clear cache when it gets to
full, my apps runs well in
background.
How do I lock my application?
Does DmProtectDatabase
serve that purpose?
Where am I possibly going
wrong. Any lines to go ahead
?
Regards,
Sagar
