Manage Claims

If a database is set to Explicit Claim mode (refer to the Administration User Guide for further information), before records can be edited or have their status changed they must first be claimed using a Local Claim.

If the database is set to Explicit Claim mode and is also an Extract database, records must also be claimed to an Extract Claim after being claimed to a Local Claim.

If an attempt is made to edit or change the status of a record that must be claimed either locally or to an extract, the edit/status change fails and a message is issued explaining why.

Data Management facilities in the Engineer module allow the following:

• View the current local and extract claim state of records in a grid.

• Claim and release records from a local claim.

• Claim, release, flush, issue and drop records from an extract claim.

For further details of Extracts, Claims and related concepts and procedures, refer to the Administration User Guide for more information.
