  • Publication number: 20170075939
    Abstract: Various techniques are described for precisely locking database objects within a database during a system upgrade with the use of database freeze triggers. Some database freeze triggers can be utilized to lock transport requests while other database freeze triggers can be utilized to lock database objects such as exchange tables. For transport requests, techniques describe the use of a whitelist identify transport objects or transport object types which shall remain unblocked. As a result, a database freeze trigger can be generated for transport objects or transport object types that are not included in the whitelist. For database objects, techniques describe the identification of a tool or service which has been allowed during the upgrade. Database objects which can be modified during execution of the tool or service can be identified. Database freeze triggers can be generated for the database objects besides those identified.
