Exclusive Serial File Access

Description

How does exclusive serial file access work in regards to database serial datasources?

Solution

If datasource is set to SERIAL and exclusive (menu options\preferences\network tab): the serial file is locked from when the label is opened in Design or one of the print modules, until the label is closed.
If the datasource is DATABASE-SERIAL: When the serial file access is set to exclusive, the serial file is locked from when the record is retrieved until the record has finished printing.
