How Do I Allow Different Users Access to the Same XML Document? (Magic xpa 3.x)
If more than one user needs to access an XML document, you need to make sure that the document is opened in read mode.
Because XML documents are not managed by a DBMS, you cannot allow more than one user to update the XML document at one time. If you need to produce an XML document that will be updated by multiple users concurrently, you should store the data as SQL or ISAM data source, and produce the XML document when needed from the stored data.
-
Go to Main Source or Link for the data source you want to work with.
-
Press Alt+Enter to go to the Properties pane.
-
Set the Access property to Read, so this task will only access the XML document in read mode. Now, two different users use this task at the same time.
-
Set the Share property to either Read or Write. Set it to Write if you want other tasks (or external products) to be able to update the XML document while this task is reading it. Do not set it to None, however, because then only one user can view the data at a time.
