How long does is a document locked? For example if document locking is enabled and 1 person has a document opened in their replica and updates the data the document should remain locked to me until I down load the information to my replica otherwise if the lock is released after she closes the document and then I edit my document before replicating her changes I am going to create a save conflict for her and anyone else who has a replica of the database, so the question is how long does the lock last. I created my own document locking procedures that retains the lock through replication.
Subject: Document Locking
I posted it while ago, but situation’s still same.
I tried to learn to use R6 Lock feature too, but found “our self programmed locking stuff” is yet more reliable. If you have replicas of your database on different servers, stick to old method (The locked document from Master Lock server replicates to secondary server and remains locked until next replication, if servers are offline).
What I can add now is that if lock is being placed on and Notes shuts down with error (doesn’t respond and closes…NSD running…don’t know proper english word for it, but hope you got me), then standart lock may last on that document…well, it’s still there.
So better stick to your own methods until RNext. Oh, and share your method of locking through replication.
