+### DC_REQUEST_LOGS
+On SASjs Server and SAS9 Server types, at the end of each DC SAS request, a record is added to the [MPE_REQUESTS](/tables/mpe_requests) table.  In some situations this can cause table locks.  To prevent this issue from occuring, the `DC_REQUEST_LOGS` option can be set to `NO` (Default is `YES`).

 ### DC_RESTRICT_EDITRECORD
 Setting YES will prevent the EDIT RECORD dialog appearing in the EDIT screen by removing the "Edit Row" option in the right click menu, and the "ADD RECORD" button in the bottom left.

+# MPE_REQUESTS
+The MPE_REQUESTS table contains an entry with details for every backend request.  This is applied in the [mpeterm.sas](https://code.datacontroller.io/mpeterm_8sas.html) macro.
+
+In some scenarios this can cause table locks.  To avoid this, you can set the [dc_request_logs](/dcc-options/#dc_request_logs) option to NO.
