Is it possible to make a database link wait for completion?
Not a regular link, but the "Async Soft Channel" output device supports
that come with Base 3.14 do exactly that. In 3.15 we also provide input
device supports which do process-get as well, which Marty had to do some
major internal surgery to support. The facility is now called
process-notify instead of put-notify as a result.
Now it would be nice to have "put notify" links, e.g:
field (LNK1, "A.PROC PN")
So that LNK2 is only processed when the whole LNK1 chain has finished
processing.
Unfortunately we can't do this for regular links because the API that
record types call to do put and get operations on regular links doesn't
provide for the necessary callback-on-completion which would allow for
asynchronous operations like that. Making this something that could be
configured on a per-link basis would require rewriting every record type
to support such links.
