Copying Packages, another users are locked

[Luis Gustavo]

Hello "
I'm using EA 9.3 with 4 users connected in SQL Database.
For example, if user "A" copy/paste one package, during this procedure another users ("B", "C" and "D")can't use EA.
It's look likes locking during this copy/paste.

Is this normal?

I'd say yes, if you want a model with a little bit of consistency. What should be the outcome if user A copies something he's seeing and (while he can't see) another user B is changing it. Does it take too long so you're worried?

There has been a locking issue for EA v9 with SQL Server. It should be fixed in the latest version (10.0.1007).

Qwerty,

User "B" is connected in same database. But not working in the same package, While the user "A" makes a copy, B is locked.

This is a problem or security(consistency)?

See Geerts answer. If that isn't the issue, can you detail how long the lock is held?

EA from computer "B", "C" and "D" Styed locked during all time while is pasted.

Sure. But how long does the paste take? One second or two?

Copy and paste of a package uses and XMI export/import. By default this uses a database transaction to ensure consistency. It's the transaction that is locking out other users. You can disable that behaviour on the XML import dialog or in the XML Specifications options page.
