Hello im running sage line50 version 11 on a freebsd machine with samba version 2x My smb.conf for share looks like this [sage] path = /40gb/sage writeable = yes browseable = no create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 veto oplock files = /*.mdb/*.MDB/*.ldb/*.LDB locking = yes share modes = yes
The problem is when two users for example try and update customer records one of them will get a message saying the file has been locked and a count down appears trouble is the count down goes into a loop and both users get stuck
This is called �deadlock� with Classic Line 100 and can happen even when the Sage control module running on the server is supposed to avoid it.
Do you have some kind of control module running? For what I�ve been told on the CL100, the data files could even be placed on a SAMBA server, with the control module still running on our Netware server --- if the Netwere server only were able to deal with TCP/IP and such, it�s still 3.2.
But access to the data files would have to be maintained by the control module to avoid situations like you describe. I can only tell for CL100, though.
Maybe it helps to disable oplocks completely. Has the CL50 some control module at all? I�m curious about your setup; having the data files on a SAMBA server and running the control module on another server might eventually be an option for us to consider ...
