transactionBlocking

System scope only

This configuration variable determines whether Tango Server blocks other processes during a transaction. Transactions begin with the Begin Transaction action and end when an End Transaction action is reached, an error occurs (automatic rollback), or the end of an application file or a Return action is reached (automatic commit).

For more information, see "Creating Database Transactions" in the User's Guide.

This variable accepts TRUE or FALSE as values. The default value is TRUE. It is read only at startup; a restart is required to effect changes to it.

Caution: Setting this configuration variable to FALSE may cause poor performance due to record contention when multiple users are executing transactions with Tango.
