Easysoft ODBC-Zortec System Z DriverWill Easysoft Data Access for Zortec SystemZ connect to my ISAM data at the same time as my SystemZ applications? |

Many users of EDA for SystemZ also still use native SystemZ applications to update and read their data. To make sure that EDA for SystemZ does not lock these applications out and vice versa Easysoft have implemented into the software the ability to mirror the locking mode of all iterations of C-ISAM. This means that once the locking mode that mirrors your version of C-ISAM is chosen EDA for SystemZ and other applications can access the files concurrently. EDA for SystemZ will only take an exclusive (and only ever at record level) lock at point of update. At all other times it open the ISAM file read only. This ensures that the data is freely available for all other applications. Please note that this will only occur to Zortec customers using C-ISAM as their back end data files.
