Fw: JResultClient 0-13-4: File Locking Issue.

["Whitman Lee" <whitman@dieboldes.com>]

JResultClient locks the S1-0.txt file when it is reading, but will not release it immediately right after each read.  This prevents GEMS from updating the file properly.

 

We now force JResultClient to release all its lock after each "update".  And the code for processing the result is also optimized to reduce the time on locking the Sxxx.txt file.

 

The fix will be available in the next release.

SLO experience a "File Locking" problem during their November 2000 election.

 

JResultClient was installed on 4 PCs connected on a LAN.  When the script.lst, S1-0.txt, etc were updated on the JResultClient LAN, JResultClient could not access the file S1-0.txt.  The file S1-0.txt could not be updated or deleted because it was locked by another PC.   They had to bring down the JResultClient with each new update of script.lst, S1-0.txt.
