Re: Best way to test Record Locking in Multiuser System

I have seen many instances where the app behaves differently in the
production environment. Usually it is caused by network access issues,
available printers, and missing resources (forms, reports, etc.). In the
development environment you have all your forms, classes, reports, etc. and
in the production environment you don't. If you forgot to embed any of these
resources in your EXE, you will find that it works in development but not in
production.

Having said that, record locking issues should be identical when running 2
instances in the development environment, even on a standalone box, as it is
when running in production (unless there are network issues causing
problems). A notable exception is evironment settings - multilocks, retry,
etc.
