Chapter 5 Binding : Definition Binding

Definition Binding
What Definitions Should You Bind?
In a production environment, it makes sense to bind the definitions of most of, if not all, your production tables and screens. Use the following table to determine if a table or screen is a good candidate for definition binding:
Considerations for Definition Binding
If updates are made to the definition while the user is using the bound copy of the definition, the changes do not normally take effect until the user's Execution Environment is recycled or the object is rebound. Refer to Refreshing the Bound Copy for more information.
Search Path for Bound Rules
Users should set the search path for their rules libraries to I (installation), in their user profiles; otherwise, the users’ local libraries are searched before the installation and system library. Searching the local library first increases response time.
Under normal use, updates do not take place on bound definitions, however updates to definitions made with the MOVTAB, SIXBUILD, and SIXDELETE tools take effect on the bound copy of the table in session storage.
When Should You Unbind a Definition?
Unbind the definition of a table or screen if you want to update its definition. Users who are accessing the bound copy of the table or screen at the same time as the table or screen is being unbound normally continue to access the original bound version of the definition until their session storage is refreshed.
