17.5 Handling Concurrent Changes

Several users can work simultaneously in the same Oracle Data Integrator project or model. As they may be all connected to the same repository, the changes they perform are considered as concurrent. Oracle Data Integrator provides two methods for handling these concurrent changes: Concurrent Editing Check and Object Locking . This two methods can be used simultaneously or separately.

17.5.1 Concurrent Editing Check

The user parameter, Check for concurrent editing, can be set to 1 to perform to prevent you from erasing the work performed by another user on the object you try to save. Refer to Appendix B, User Parameters for more information. If this parameter is set to 1, when saving changes to any object, Oracle Data Integrator checks whether other changes have been made to the same object by another user since you opened it. If another user has made changes, the object cannot be saved, and you must cancel your changes.
