Conversation Group Locking

Question

Hello,

I have a conversation group which contains a conversation identified by conversation handle @ch,

In one process,  I do a

RECEIVE ...

, thereby locking the conversation group until the transaction is committed.

What happens if, in a separate process, I try to do a

SEND ON CONVERSATION @ch

while the conversation group is still locked?

Does it raise an error, or does it just assign a new conversation group, or does it do something else?

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

The second process will wait on a lock until the first process ends the transaction (therefore releasing the conversation group lock), or until the lock acquiring timeout passes, in which case it will raise an error.
