Here's the situation:

We have an application database library. In addition to our application, it may also, depending on the customer, have customer-specific inbound-data propagation programs (triggers, periodic update programs, maybe even exit programs, or any combination thereof) accessing it.

The library itself is on the library list of our application's master server job (which does nothing but spawn off child-server jobs whenever a client connects).

Now, we want to do an update to that library, adding fields to one or more of the files, with a CL program. We're holding the master server job, and checking for any child-server jobs before we start, in order to keep our application out.

But any ideas on what we could put an *EXCL lock on, that would lock out any of the inbound data-propagation without forcing us to kill the master server job outright?
