FILELOCKINGMODE

The FILELOCKINGMODE configuration setting specifies how files are locked for Essbase deployed on Linux systems. File locking mode is not applicable to Windows deployments.

Syntax

FILELOCKINGMODE  Advisory | Mandatory | None

  • Advisory—Locks files. All applications that follow rules (including Essbase) will honor the locks.

  • Mandatory—Locks files at the kernel level. This setting provides extra security to protect against malicious software. This is the default setting.

  • None—No files are locked. This option is added for Failover mode where file access is not done by the operating system, but by an application acquiring a lease.

Notes

When FAILOVERMODE is set to TRUE, setting FILELOCKINGMODE to Advisory or Mandatory has no effect.
