•Every lock object when activated creates two function modules:

Enqueue_<lock object name>: For setting locks.

Dequeue_<lock object name>: For releasing locks.

•All tables included must be linked with FK. FK fields must be key fields of FK table.

•The lock argument of a table in the lock object consists of the key fields of the table.

•Use TCODE SU01 for creating new user name.

Lock Modes

•Exclusive & cumulative : The locked data can only be displayed or edited by a

•Exclusive not cumulative : The locked data can only be displayed or edited by a single
user but it can be called only once from the same transaction.
Lock Object Function Module Parameters

•Field name

•X_<field name>: If <field> = initial value & X_<field> = initial value -> generic lock.If
<field> = initial value & X_<field> = X ->lock is set with exactly initial value of
<field>.

•Mode_<tab>: E,S,X for each table.

•_Scope : 2 for enqueue & 3 for dequeue.


•_Wait : If _wait = initial value & if there is competing lock,a lock attempt
fails. If _wait = X & if there is competing lock,lock attempt fails for first time.

Lock attempt is repeated after waiting for certain time. FOREIGN_LOCK


exception is triggered only if certain time is elapsed.

•SYSTEM_FAILURE exception is triggered when problem occurred while setting lock.
