A single directory containing an SCA database. The directory should not contain anything else. SCA always locks an entire physical library when it accesses it. When you are reading a physical library (for example, with a FIND command), other users are not allowed to write to the physical library, but other users are allowed to read the physical library. When you are writing to a physical library (for example, using LOAD), no other user is allowed to read or write to the physical library.
