The ctfilblkif utility now supports an option (-m) to block a file with the reopen option. This means that when the file is unblocked, those connections that had the file open when it was blocked must "manually" reopen the file (e.g., the application must explicitly reopen the file).
Example 1:
Block the file with the reopen option:
ctfilblkif -f mydatafile.dat -m -p ADMIN -s FAIRCOMS
Example 2:
Unblock the file. The connections that originally had the file open must reopen the file:
ctfilblkif -f mydatafile.dat -u -p ADMIN -s FAIRCOMS
Note: FairCom does not guarantee preserving the state of a transaction, locks, ISAM context when a file is blocked and then unblocked, even if using the auto open option. Because ISAM context information is lost when the file is blocked, an error 590 may be returned after the file has been blocked and unblocked using ctFBautopen or when using ctfilblkif utility, which uses this mode.
