Hi All..,
If suppose there are 'n' number of users peforming the same action at the same instance of time, the system allocates the resoursec to one at a time and blocks the resources for others.., consecutively, thus performing the ation at all the terminals. Can anybody plese tell me How does the system do this? I mean., how does the system block and relese the resources in these type of cases?
thanks..,
Venkat

I'm not sure I understand the precise meaning of your ques, but generally ssystem resources are protected from simutaneous use by ENQ/DEQ names for the resource in question.

All requests are Queued on this name when the current user has no further use of the resource he isDEQed and the nat user in the queue is ENQed.

It's a lot more complicated than this (e.g. user dispatching priority is also considered, and I would guess security), but that's the general idea.
